Killing Me Softly

Trying to try, to care, to love, to want to...

does it even make sense for me

to be so caught up

in a feeling I never should have felt?

But I did.

Too innocent to be invested

you knew it all but knew nothing at all.

Loving the box you put me in

where I knew nothing,

yet knowing more than you ever could.

You didn't give me a chance

I still tried, cared, wanted to make it work.

You blew it all out of proportion to satisfy your own needs.

Not worth the effort to fix what you broke

at my expense, expending all of my energy

unknowingly killing myself slowly, softly.
