Lately

Lately, I've been feeling so distant from you
Maybe that's because they found your body on the bathroom floor, foaming from the mouth from the overdose of pills
Maybe that's because last week was your funeral and I was too scared to go see your beautiful being laying in the coffin you decided to name your new home
Lately I've been feeling like you aren't open with me
Maybe that's because your vocal cords along with the rest of your body are decomposing in a box buried 6 feet below ground
Maybe that's because you've gone where you can't connect to me through the tiny screen you used to hold in your hand when we'd text and call
Lately I've been feeling lonely
Maybe that's because the last words you ever spoke to me were "Everything will be okay" and "I love you" but you haven't spoken to me since
Maybe that's because instead of coming to me, you decided to jump of the bridge called life, leaving me stranded, waiting for your return
Lately I've been feeling like I'd rather join you where you are, than be here alone with the pain that can't be cured by any medication
Maybe that's because you're all I have
Maybe that's because you're all I want
