My Loss

Pain.

All I feel is pain.

The sun was right behind the clouds

But I got tired of the rain

I dove into my shelter

Right as the rays began to shine through.

What have I done?

Did I really just lose you?

Tell my heart to stop beating

Tears stream down my face

Tell my lungs to stop breathing

Get me out of this place.

I love me, I hate you

I hate me, I love you

I can't take it back

No matter how bad I want to.

I'm hurt, I'm impatient, I overreact

I'm human, what can I say?

But I'm forgetting you're human, too

I'm sorry, okay?

Don't let me hear your voice

Don't let me catch you staring

Don't stand so terrifyingly close to me

I don't want you to hear me crying

Ugh.

What happened today?

One minute, you're here

The next, you're so far away...

Drowning...

Dying...

Help me...

Help...
