I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry

by Halsey

I so badly want to be liked.

I want to be loved.

A beautiful woman is a car crash.

I hope you’ll stay. But I would leave me too, if I could.

And it was on my first day on Earth that I realized I didn’t measure up, and I never would.

To find the world not worthy of your words, and to find yourself unworthy of the world.

I can hold a grudge like it’s a hand.

If I bleed, will you like the taste?

I am not allowed to want to die anymore. Believe me, I have tried.
