the sadness of the eyes is always the first sign

the second is an apparent lack of care

thirdly, feelings they no longer share

then, they neglect their health

lastly, they accept their death.

bags in his hand
a studious man
standing in the doorway
"what do you want from me?"

loss for words,
nothing to say
silence made him leave
but I wanted him to stay

I was taught to ask for nothing
even if I needed something
my thoughts were loud
but my voice was too proud

*Can you love me, please?"

To go unnoticed for so long
makes you think it won't be so wrong,
to disappear, to be gone.

To be alive and feel dead
makes life seem strange
inside your head.

To hear you're loved
but feel the opposite
makes you feel not meant.

Time wasted,
energy spent
people you begin to resent.

they say let it go
but it's difficult
when it's the only life you know.
