what i really want
more than anything in the whole world!
is for someone to hug me and tell me they love me
and i want them to say it over and over and over and over and over
until demons decide to get the fuck out of my head and let me think for one goddamn second
that maybe I really am loved...
not like you're family so I love u
i mean like you're FAMILY so i LOVE YOU
because maybe it's my fucked up mind thinking fucked up things
but sometimes i feel love towards a person and then other times i feel LOVE towards a person
the first is because i have to and the second is because i choose to, but i would never tell them so why would they tell me?
and if you're wondering why i say love and LOVE
it's because anyone with depression or hates themselves
can tell you how much a difference meaning the words you are saying
can tell you the difference between saying platitudes and "i love you"s after a hug
and someone looking you in the eyes and telling you they LOVE every single part of you
cus that's all we --
that's all i could ever want
just someone to love me and understand me
to not get annoyed at my mood swings to no matter how bad
to get that while being alone kills me being with people all the time is somehow worse
it's not about
"I'm here if you ever need to talk"
it's about
"I noticed you didn't eat today; here's an apple"
it's not about
"Let me give you some advice"
it's about
You haven't talked in hours... "Wanna hear a funny story?"
it's not about
me coming to you cus i'll only ever be too afraid to
it's about
you coming to me cus you get that i'm trapped without the key
so i guess i'm sorry
idk y
but i'm sorry
i'm sorry mom
i'm sorry dad
i'm sorry Mac
and most of all
i'm sorry Emma
cus i can't be you're big strong sister
and i make you hate me a little every time i come home
i'm just sorry
i don't know how to fix it
i don't know how to fix me
and i don't know how to even say this all to you
so i'm sorry
