Playing Puppets

Ace

Everything you do makes me feel uncomfortable.

I hate every action,

every glimpse,

every glance,

I hate all of it.

I just wish you would stop looking at me.

Stop liking me,

stop loving me.

Because you make me feel bad.

I feel bad that I can't like you back,

no matter how hard I try.

I hate it when you say how much you care for me,

because I know I could never feel the same way.

I hate the way you look at me,

I hate the way you speak to me,

I hate the way you act towards me.

I hate that I gave you a chance,

I hate that you caught onto my fishing line and now you won't let go.

Just.

Want.

Space.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I can't treat you the same way you treated me.

I'm sorry I can't be the girl of your dreams.

I'm sorry I can't make myself like you back.

I'm sorry you feel heartbroken.

But really,

I don't feel sorry.

I just want space.

I just want you to leave me alone.

Every eye glimmer,

every smile,

every hopeful glance makes me cringe.

I simply can't do it anymore.

I can't pretend to be the one for you.

I can't walk around all day,

entertaining you.

It feels like we're going in circles.

I can't keep telling you I don't feel the same,

even after the poems,

the flowers,

the gifts.

I just cannot make myself.

Author Notes: I wrote this about someone who put me in a difficult position where I had to make a difficult decision. I don't regret my decision, but there are things I can't share on here that would give more context as to why I hate this situation so much.
