I slept the whole day away
I wasn't even tired
Stomach pain
Chest tighter than the way we hold hands
I've been told that I should try my best to be there for you
I'm still trying to figure out how
Sweeter than sugar but nowadays the sugar bowl is empty
Smile bluer than an empty sky
Your once fiery eyes now only resemble ashes
Drinking habits that remind me that self-harm isn't always with a razor
Sometimes you'll vent to me and I feel useful
Other days you push me so far away that I doubt we'll ever be close again
I'm afraid that if I give you space, you'll float off into the universe, never to be found
Or you'll do something drastic and my heart will be stained with guilt
I know you have depression
I know I can't simply "fix" you
But I would give anything to take your pain away
