To Those People Who Promised They will Always be Here

Do you remember when you said you'll always be there?

And when I call you, you'll have time to spare?

I was happy for someone to notice

That I need someone to listen

And so I trusted you with my heart

Making me hold onto your words

Making me believe in you.

I let you swim on the depths of my darkness;

I let you crawl in every corner of my mind;

I let you see every single bit of me.

You saw the demons I hide within

You just stared at them with no fear

You told me how brave I have been

For you thought I could handle them with ease

But never once I have told you

How I'm starting to be like them.

It was hard for me to tell you

That I'm starting to lose control;

That I was on the verge of falling apart.

That's when I decided to tell you

What I'm really going through:

Aching for someone to listen;

Aching for you to be here.

And when I was about to open up

You told me, "You don't need me after all!

I am sure you can handle it

Even without you needing my help."

I was speechless, I didn't know what to say

So I swallowed my cry and smiled instead

Telling myself I shouldn't have trusted you

Because if you really are my friend

You should have known from the start

How hard I'm trying to keep up with my facade
