Painful thoughts

you are the one
that is always on my mind
i wish i could tell you
but the right words i can't find

gentle tears
roll down my face
knowing to well
that there's no saving grace

the pathetic attachment
of someone so insecure
generates feelings
too painful to endure

finding no end
to the pain in my heart
shot after shot
everything will just tear me apart
