Wasted Poem by natalie ricketts

wasted efforts
wasted time
wasted love

but is it really wasted
if i do not try to believe
am i not just a waste of space
like those who wasted me

wasted dinners
wasted words
wasted on deaf ears

but is it really wasted
i hope this doesn't last forever
to kill me slowly
destroying my soul
creating a great big bloody hole

wasted plans
wasted dreams
wasted tears

but is it really wasted
maybe i need to face the fact
this could last many years
until i find the one to trust
someone to fend my fears
