Loving a Girl With Anxiety

loving a girl with anxiety is constantly talking with nobody listening
feeling like the world is caving in
"why can't i be strong enough for both of us?"
but please don’t worry, it just is hard for me

loving a girl with anxiety is like loving every little part of you that's broken
like being the only silence in a world of blurred noises
being the only calm in the hurricane and then the sharpest destruction
not a word is insignificant, not a breath is uncalculated

 

loving a girl with anxiety is always waiting for the piano to fall
for the sky to crumble and for the ground to open up
every decision hinges on her feeling safe
-- "i do care! i do care!", well where is my proof?

but it is not your fault, lover
you are not the answer in me, but i am not the question
you are the second most powerful trial
but be content with the realization that you are enough

it is not a case of second-best; rather, distress is heavier
so lay down and love your anxiety
because she will love you stronger than you'd ever believe
and one day she will able to see
