I try many a times
To assure myself
That everything's good
And I'm going to be fine
In due time
But deep down the stinging scratches
Of the pains I bear
Cannot be explained
It is like a black shadow engulfing
My soul
And no one sees it except for me
Afraid to loosen my hold
On my insecurities
Scared to come out of my nest
Why does this pain from
Longing for your presence persists
Hauntingly
The cold of the nights
The unexplainable wetness of my eyelids
The nonexistent voice of yours
I swear drives me near insane
Surely there had to be
Some explanation
An apology of some sort
For the unreturned texts
The unanswered calls
I tell myself many a times
That 'tis the last time
I'll let myself get burned
But in the break of every dawn
I still find myself injured
From not seeing to my last promise
