you were my helium to my life.
you raised me up
with all your words.
you lifted me off my feet
with your smiles that were meant just for me.
you made me fly, high up in the sky
with your presence.
you know, helium is a really light gas.
you made the weight in my heart
lighter
you made my life
sunnier
you made my smile, my emotions
brighter.
you were the helium to my life.
and maybe, i saw too much in you.
i gave too much of my soul to you.
i devoted too much to you.
most of all.
i relied on you too much.
so much that
when you were gone
my life essence is drained
bit by bit,
little by little.
and i start falling ever so slowly.
no longer am i on cloud nine,
no longer am i high up in the sky,
no longer am i floating amongst the stars.
without you,
i fall faster and faster.
and what did you do?
unlike last time, you weren't there for me.
you just sat there
laughing,
jeering at my plight.
as i cried and begged and begged over and over
for your comforting presence
not your mean, painful, hurtful one.
did i not love you enough?
did you not care for me?
did all your sugar-coated words mean nothing?
nothing at all?
you were no longer the helium to my life.
instead,
you were a needle
poking at my sides
draining my life essence
watching me die ever so slightly
with every passing day.
and you watched me
as i fell from the sky
and landed in the drain
flat, empty,
drained, gone
dead.
