I lose myself trying to help you,
The scars you once had have cascaded onto me,
I sit wearily watching you grow,
Growing in that blinded light,
Lightly smiling watching you leave since you don't need the help anymore,
I'm just temporary; so are you; so is everyone,
Everyone comes and goes,
I still want that feeling of comfort and closeness,
I long to have it,
I felt alone but when you came with your worries,
I didn't feel so alone,
But now your leaving again empty shoulders,
Passing the broken parts to me,
I am tired and I'm aware,
But a part of me doesn't wanna be selfish,
And ask for that happiness,
That I once had,
All I want is to get that back,
That hope, that last piece of me that I need,
Isn't coming back,
I'm lost and confused,
Lonely on a path I never imagined to take,
Neglected and bruised,
My heart cries and screams,
But no one hears it,
Silent and in despair,
It longs to have company,
Not just any company,
But a heart filling company,
I'm tired of faking that smile,
Which lies behind that mask full of tears.
