This crazy thought...Self-Love

You never chased me down,

not once.

Yet still, I'll fight for you.

Fighting for something

you don't even want.

I wonder why I’m still blue.

I’ll never be enough you know,

but nobody else would do.

It’s time to turn this love for you

into something new.

It’s time for me to take a chance

and set my own love free.

Redirect it

to the one you left here.

Give myself a chance to breathe.

Give my own soul what I need.

Waiting for you is proving to be

a tireless endeavor, indeed.

I’ve never thought to love myself,

only let my heart continue to bleed.
