Beside me - Dedicated to Adithi N.
                  ———————————-
I was there lying
Alone and lost
Smiling with the others
But never truly happy
No one knowing what I was going through
I was invisible
A wall around me
So many people around
No one next to me
No one seeing me
Then
Then someone saw me
Told me I'm not invisible
Told me I could trust them
Each day they helped me through
Something I would never be able to pay back
Each hidden tear
Hidden sadness
Was shown with them
They told me it was ok
Told me they were there
I had someone by me
But they wouldn't stay forever
No one ever did
They would leave
It would shatter me
But they promised
Even if they won't be here physically
Next to me
They are somewhere
Thinking of me
And is there to help
All broken moments
Starting to glue together
A story getting pieced
Someone to hear my story
I could stand by someone
Not thinking what I would do next
Thoughts filled my mind still
Here and there
I couldn't stand each moment in my life
Could they do it?
Could they fix me?
The shattered one
Who was hidden?
Pieces everywhere
So hard to find
But they had to leave
They couldn't stay this time
Soon, soon they would leave
Taking yet another piece
No one beside me again
Why can't you stay?
Please stay
I begged
Tears flooding out
Loud sobs
It was time
I couldn't handle it anymore
Don't leave
Stay beside me
Like you were
Tell me it's ok
Tell me you are here
You couldn't
You cried
You couldn't stop your leaving either
Stay
Stay beside me
