A series of poems. Some inspirational, others relatable; they all are meant to help me get what I feel out of my head and out into the world.

I send one after another

Each building off of the last

I'm hoping and praying

That you'll answer

You say that you care

And that I can text you any time

That you'll be there

But here I am

It's 3 in the morning

And you aren't answering

I need you now

And you're not answering

I can't hold on anymore

I need you to respond

To let me know you're still there

Even though you aren't

You haven't been there for me in months

But I still text you

I still need you

I sent another text

And another

It's 4 in the morning now

I'm barely alive

Don't blame me for this

For giving up finally

I tried to talk to you

But you won't talk to me

I sent one last text

Goodbye...
