This is not where I belong
This is not where I belong
By: Connie D
I’m strong, this is not where I belong
I should’ve sedated this love, toned down the wretched music of this sadistic song
Instead, I turned up the music and danced along
Like I belonged in his space, I danced along
I knew it was wrong, oh so so wrong
And now I’m singing a sad love song
Oh God, I’m not feeling too strong
I stare and stare
Like a restless child without a care
Feels like I’m drowning but I’m not grasping for air
I wouldn’t dare…would I
No, I wouldn’t dare
Because I hate how much I still care
Why did I bear my soul and show that I’m in need
We dare to care and share but it leaves us feeling bare with a gaping tear
A pain that no one should ever have to bare
Love was never fair
About this poem
I recently broke my own heart because I pursued a relationship that we both knew was doomed from the start
