I Want Romantic Love
I want romantic love and I am tired of lying that I don't ,
I want romantic love and I seek it in the most wrong and unhealthiest ways,
I give up my body in hopes that people see beyond it and somehow come to love the girl within it,
But they don't and the girl that grew up romanticising love dies more with each hand that touches her,
I let myself feel their weight pressing onto me in hopes that I'll feel whole one day but each time it feels like a piece of me leaves as they leave,
I want romantic love but I allow this to happen because somewhere along the way, I have convinced myself that this type of "love" is all I deserve and all I would get,
I hate it. I hate myself for allowing it. I hate myself for feeling even a shred of comfort from it. I just want romantic love and I am finally admitting it.
