Wasted Poem by Melanin Barbie

All the tears that rolled
down my cheeks every night
Wishing you was thinking about me
As much as you be on my mind
Wasted

All the overthinking
The overprotecting
Just to feel valueless
Wasted

All the staying up at night
Smiling and giggling
Sneaking out at night
Hugging and Kissing
Wasted

All the running my mouth
Thinking your listening
Just to get played
Like a f* playlist
Wasted

I put my all into
Something that was never there
Age didn't mean nothing
But clearly we wasn't a pair
Wasted

Me thinking you was the one
Me thinking you was like the f* sun
I almost said the L word
I guess I was none
Wasted

Put all my Time
Plus effort
Into something so,
Childish and Unprepared
Wasted

But it was nothing
Nothing Special,
Nothing golden,
Nothing Forever

But truly how can I say that?

When my heart skips a beat
everytime he's on my mind

I lose breathe everytime
I see him

And I get insecure
When he speaks

At the end of the day
I'll still love him
Even when he broken me
