Lovably Worthless Poem by matt hartwell

She makes me question my beliefs. She pulls out all my insecurities. You make me feel like i could be forever young. You make me feel lovably worthless. You can hold a knife to my wrist and giggle when i flinch as you carve your love. You dance around my heart like its a fire to be stomped out. You shape others views about me into the invisible nothing. You make me feel worthless. Your eyes look away as I stare and plead for the smallest smile or obscene gesture. Forget it...

The cold empty sinking feeling is too much. Too cruel.. You make me the worst I'll ever be, and your so blind that you cant even see.... How my heart is painted on my face. How my tears are my lack of smiles.


Please....Tell me if you feel this suffocation. This loveless radicalization. The feeling of being useless.... I didn't say those 3 words to feel safe.

Am i really that forgettable?
