contentedness

i just can't keep
letting myself hurt
like this
over and over again

i can't seem to stop
fawning over someone
non-reciprocal feelings
that should be dedicated elsewhere

i see her and i hurt
over and over again
i want to stop
but i can't let go

its been 2 years again
and i just want
to be friends
but i keep on

opening up
old wounds
lying supine
waiting to bleed

why am i so
damn
broken
and why

do i insist on
bleeding out
agonizing pain
over someone

why can't i be happy with what i have?
