i am(use me)

i am(use me)

A Poem by JP Williams

they told me to bend until I break
so I bent
but I couldn't break further than I already was
not from all the times I had bent
but from all the times I felt empty and lonely
more than I really was
or more than I should really feel
and it broke me that I was alone
but I shouldn't feel like it 
because they told me
to never say I felt alone
that way I would never be with someone else
and that I should wait for the right time
for the right person
so I wouldn't feel alone anymore
and I've been with people but not the right ones
not the ones I should have waited
I just spent time with them until they left
or they just enjoyed me until I made them leave
because I never wanted them to stay
because they were not the right ones
and I was not the one for them
so they used me
or I used them for a while
just so I wouldn't have a reason to feel lonely
at least not for some little time
even though it felt worse everytime they left
and they keep on leaving
maybe because I don't know how to make them stay
or because I don't want them to
perhaps it's simply because I'm not made that way
or I'm not worthy
of having someone stay at least once
at least for a while
just so I wouldn't feel lonely
just so I wouldn't make myself lonely
because they told me
to never say I felt alone
but I am
and I'm waiting
for the right person
for the right time
but it feels like I've been waiting my entire life
and I don't want to be alone anymore
