Do I Say? 

I say this,

I say that,

But do I mean it,

When I say it back?

I throw around the words,

And I feel terrible when I do.

Because do I really mean it,

When I say, “I love you”?

I act like it,

But I don’t show it.

My heart is only in one place,

And that I know it.

For that I am sorry,

I cannot help it.

As someone has my heart,

And they have kept it.

Unsure 

You say you’re unsure

And I say then why bother.

You built me up

But now I feel like fodder.

You make me feel good,

And like I have something to gain,

But now you’ve changed,

And I’m left with nothing but pain.

So why even agree

To go with me at all,

If you knew from the beginning

That I would just be left to fall.

Unrequited love

1. My friend, to my best friend,

            I can’t hold it in anymore.

I have to take my chance,

Shoot a shot if you will.

I’m willing to give it a whirl,

If you are too.

2. You said yes,

And it made me so happy.

I was vibrant because of you,

Just being around you.

All good things must come to an end though,

And we are no exception.

3. We’re barely talking now,

Where did your excitement go?

I can’t tell why,

But now I feel so low.

Down, down in the dumps,

And the person I want, and need is unsure.

4. Now we’re just friends,

But I get it.

Even though I get it,

It still stings a bit.

My unrequited love is still yearning,

But I’ll keep it inside and have it subside till morning.
