Maybe

Maybe

A Poem by Shane Watkins
"

Break ups suck lol

"

You hurt me... just like the rest 

And you promised you wouldn’t... just like the rest 

Same method, same words, just a different face

I changed myself repeatedly to try and make you like me

you told me: "You're okay, I like you the way you are"

But maybe, just maybe that wasn't good enough for me anymore

Maybe I didn't want to be the way I AM... maybe I wanted to feel just a little different

Maybe if I changed myself around this time nothing would mess up

We wouldn't break up, it'd be perfect this time: "I swear"

I thought, but you're the same, you’re not different than the rest you just look different

I hate that I love you, I hate that I can't stop myself from loving you because I do love you

But what I hate most of all is the fact that I know what you do to me and I still choose to stay.

And because of that, I hate myself

..that last line.... perfectly worded. It's like you can't HELP yourself Going through this currently. It rips your soul to bits of nothing.

A lot of this resonates with me, personally. The feeling of "the same relationship" playing out again and again, especially. Very nice.
