Finding Peace

The feeling of loneliness creeps upon me,

But not just for normal reasons,

It's because of who you have become.

We use to be so close,

And now what has happened?

I'm scared,

Of what we have become.

Right now,

You are by yourself.

But why?

I cannot answer.

We use to share our problems,

We use to laugh as I would sit there by your side.

But now,

It's as if you have built a wall.

You close down and block out everything around you,

Taking me along with it.

It hurts deeply,

But what hurts more,

Is what has a chance of happening with you.

Running away.

It use to be my only option,

But now I see how useless that choice is.

It takes away everything you can be,

It takes away the possibilities of happiness,

It takes away your life.

I wish you would listen to me,

To let me hold you close and we cry together.

But you say you're too strong for that,

When I can see you fading away slowly.

You're falling apart and I want to save you,

But you refuse any help.

Everyone makes mistakes,

But you always say you don't,

Which makes things worse between you and them.

They love you so,

As do I,

But you're too blind to see.

You're too blind to see how amazing you are,

How it doesn't matter if you need to call upon someone for help,

How its okay to crumble and let it all out,

Because I won't give up on you.

You may have given up on yourself,

You may say the world hates you,

You may say you are unloved,

But I say,

I will love you until the end,

Because you are perfect in my eyes.
