Worthy

I always fall in love with the wrong person.
The one with the twinkling eyes
Who promises me everything my heart desires
and then fails to deliver.
The one who makes me feel
Like I’m beautiful 
Like I matter 
But only for a short time 
Before they replace me
With another.
I always fall in love with the broken ones
With the big sad eyes 
And the gaping holes in their hearts.
I always think;
This one will be different 
This one won’t hurt.
This one will be more than
The sum of all the others.
But I’m always left heartbroken 
Begging them to see my worth.
I always fall in love with the wrong person. 
People say,
I am worthy of great love
I am worthy of kindness.
I am worthy of laughter and happiness 
of foot rubs and cuddles 
and kisses on the nose.
I am worthy.
Yet I am the only one who needs convincing. 
Because I always fall in love with the wrong person;
The one who promises me the world 
and then burns it down,
leaving me cold, alone, and covered in ashes.
