Just Gabriella Poem by Gabriella Franco

You tell me you care
I start gettin' scared
You tell me you love me
I find it hard to believe

This game of pain has gone on long enough
Please dont make me start falling in love
This isn't fair and it can't be true
Because you know me but I DON'T know you

You tell me that you'll do anything
But from now on I wanna just let it ring
I don't wanna answer or hear your voice
Because i know then that I must make a choice

I want to trust you but i don't know how
This puzzle of trust is hard to make out
I don't trust people, so why'd I trust you?
Now you want my trust back, chance number 2

But that's not me, definitely not my style
I hate it because you've always made me smile
You made me laugh and you made me cry
I dont want to get hurt by you one more time

You say you'll never hurt me again
You say you want us to be real close friends
But how could i matter this much to you
I am worth NOTHING so this can't be true

Seriously, why do you even care?
It's not like this girl is all that rare
Seriously, what's so special about me
Name one thing, just one little thing

That's right, see I knew you couldn't
I thought maybe you would but maybe you wouldn't
I wasn't waiting for the 'if! ' i was waiting for the 'why'
Why, when you could have any heart, why would you want mine?

See, you don't know, and it's okay
I expected as much, it's better off this way
I'll sit around and help where I can
While you move along and take another girl's hand

It's okay! Don't trip, I expected as much
I already know I don't deserve love
I'm not tryin to be emo or a pessimist
But I truly dont deserve to be loved or to be missed

So it's okay, I'm really alright
Just rip my heart out one more time
I'm fine, I swear, I'm just a sick toy for playin'
I'm just Gabriella, that's all i'm sayin.
