have you been through those nights,
where your heart hurts to beat?

have you felt that music,
that brings forth a chaos you've never experienced?

have you ever laid down with your drooping eyes,

but not even a wink of sleep graced you?

have you let your mind imagine,
the worst outcomes while tears just flowed?

have you ever let your shaky hands write about,
your insecurities and pain on a destructible paper?

have you desperately waited for a phone call,
that would bring you back to the warmth that lacks?

have you lost someone,
who stayed when you were the messiest?

have you,
been like me?
