i know i've said it before
but now
i suppose
it's a bit more true
i'll be open about it
i'm waiting for you to be better
i'm waiting for you
and then
when you
are truly okay
i can leave

i feel it
a weight
pressing down on my chest
on my heart
i'm lonely
so lonely
maybe i smile when i get
a notification
but it'll always be a struggle
between the good
and the bad
and so
i'll just leave
when i'm ready.

when everything's set.
and all the weight
will be gone.
