XXXIX. THERE'S NO USE IN FIGHTING IT
I was always taught
to disregard boys like you,
and to never give my all
to someone who'd be my ruin;
but I've been naive
and hopeful my whole life,
in the process getting my heart shattered
one too many times.
it seems like love
is a bottomless well
and I keep falling,
falling,
falling down.
and what I have of hopeful,
I also have of hopeless,
so I have stopped trying to climb my way out,
and just keep sinking endlessly.
-- I will drown and no one will be bothered.
