Apart

I write

I cry

Typing the pages begging for attention

All I want is someone to see

See past my mask

See me for who I am

See how broken I am

I don't wanna be fixed

I just want someone at my side

He is at my side

Or, so he says

Everyone knows him

Everyone wants him

Everyone needs him

He always goes here

He always goes there

When he has time

It is too himself lately

I am tired

I am so tired of fighting every day

Swallow those tears, I say

Force that smile again

Find something to take the time away

Still, I count every minute

I run to answer each text

Takes an hour to hear back

It's getting rather sour

My heart aches

It hurts

As it did before

I thought he was different

He is different

And yet he is not enough

I write when I hurt

But it is a pain unknown

There is no label for it

Not physical

Can't be seen

Can't be treated

Not by medication

Not by words

Only I know it's there

No proof to show

Just my dying heart

Just my body crumbling

Then

His hand is there

He is here

I'm alright

He pieces me together again

I am smiling, truly

I laugh

I play

Joy fills me till I overflow

He plays me like a violin

He knows each string

The sound matches his heart

We match in perfect harmony

He plays me for hours

Then

He kisses my notes goodnight

My heart already starts to reverse

It was gone again

That joy I beg to keep

He holds it in his smile

He shares it with everyone

His friends

His family

When a girl asks him

Who do you hold at night

That smile again

Not at them

I'm on his mind

Yet, we are apart

Come back

I write

I cry

I type until my pain is numb

Goodbye, my love

See you tomorrow

Tomorrow turns into the next day

I am needing you at my side

My world is dying

You are all I have!

You are all I breathe!

Can't you see?

How I change

With you, all troubles vanish

We solve them like detectives

You bring out my confidence

You bring out my wild

You bring out the girl terrified to be seen

She hates the spotlight but wants it

She hates socializing but wants friends

She pushes everyone away

Except you

Without you

I am eaten alive

The demons are awake tonight
