Love Poem: Paralyzed

Paralyzed

How has it come to this?
I lost myself holding on to the girl who didn't want me by her side
My love wasn't enough to fulfil her wish
She broke me and now I'm paralyzed

I'm numb, but I remember when the pain struck
My eyes see everything my heart wishes to hide
I'm trying to write a new chapter in the same book
I've forgot how to smile and I've never known how to cry 

So many fake smiles, I'm not sure if I have a real one
The more I was mistreated, my heart turned colder
Wishing I could feel happiness, but I'm still numb
Sitting and wishing I wasn't Bipolar

Slept with many girls, but I refuse to give them another call
they were just used to make my coldest nights better
I have such a big protective wall
That my heart won't ever allow us to spend more than one night together

She left but the memories stay
Deleted her number, but I can't erase the history
Thinking of the words I don't have the energy to say
I'm trying to stand up to all of the pain that sits with me

How has it come to this?
I lost myself holding on to the girl who didn't want me by her side
My love wasn't enough to fulfil her wish
She broke me and now I'm paralyzed
