What is this turning in my stomach

This churning

This feeling

It's almost like butterflies

The kind I get when I see you smile

But they're angry now

Fluttering their wings

Harder and harder

Against my organs

My insides are twisting

Why do I feel this way;

Unwanted and unloved

You tell me you love me

That you'll be there,

But what about at 3:54 am

When my world is spinning

What about when

What I need solace from

Is myself

Will you still be there

Or will it be too much

Will you be able to handle it

Without walking away?

Just like everyone else.

Or will you turn your back

And tell me

That you're sorry

But that you're not enough.

I don't need you to be enough

I just need you to be here.
