Lyssa's Poem Book

Current Condition: Longing For What Once Was

I wanted more than you and less than you at the same time

I guess that means you were perfect for me

But I had to leave you, it wasn't a choice

And everyone knew I feared the day when there was nothing left to say

Now I'm not sure if I'll ever feel satisfied,

Or happy, or worthy, or free

So I'm empty and my hands are tied

Hopelessly sitting here rewatching Glee

That'll never be me, because my time has passed

I've become not who I'm supposed to be

I hear people say don't dwell on the past

But what can I do when fate doesn't want passion to last?

I need you more than I ever did

I need to stop being ignored 'cause I'm not a kid

I need you to see me as someone to keep

Not someone to throw away

To be tossed to the world's heartless broken heap

Don't give me up because I'm older

This isn't safe, this can't be true

Don't break me down 'cause I'm not bolder

Oh what a shame I was never the glue
