I try to convince myself ,
"You are not alone "I repeat continuously ,
Yet when I reach my bed at night and finally collapse,
Desolation hugs me ,
rather than a castle of blankets ,
My head is comforted by a sea of thoughts ,
rather than the soft pillow ,
And the pain that my heart holds ,
Often makes me wonder which one is true : Am I on the mattress or is it the one suffocating me?
And then when I wake up and look around ,
I search frantically to find someone who cares ,
What I find is my reflection staring back at me ,
And when I stand alone ,
my shadow never leaves me ,
After a night of endless thoughts ,
it comes to me all too suddenly ,
Me ,
I am the one who understands myself ,
Me ,
I am the one who will be there constantly no matter what ,
Me ,
I am the only one who truly cares ,
So , I stopped convincing myself ,
Because , in the end ,I am all alone ,
With no one but me .

A/N : Honestly, the guilt has been present , right? I haven't updated in a while - that is probably an understatement . But actually , I was at loss of words and creativity.
But I am back . Kinda.
