"Why are you here?"

"Because I love you."

"Will you leave me?"

"No, I'm not going anywhere."
LJ Jun 2021
I don't know why
You left me
Without saying goodbye
But maybe
It's my fault you ran
It always is
Bury my head in sand
It's never his
I'm just a bit embarrassed
Don't worry, dear
But, in all fairness
You're never here
You left me with no road home
No reason to try
You left me feeling lost and alone
All I could do was cry

I'm not saying it's all your fault,
My burn just needs some ice,
But to pour on wounds some salt,
A note would've been nice.

How do you do it
Bring the fork to your mouth
After seeing something
That makes you lose your appetite
How do you do it
Shower regularly and feel clean
Without feeling so disgusting
No matter how hard you scrub
How do you do it
Sleep
Wake up
Do it all over again
How do you do it
Keep your chin up
When so many things
Have weighed my head down

How do you get through this?
Because I still haven't figured it out
And I could use
A bit of
"Advice"

"See you tomorrow!"
And it was fun
And I smiled
Until I caught myself smiling
Smiling at my phone like an idiot

And then my smile fell

I'm so glad you're moving on
Just don't call me
When it goes downhill
In fact,
Don't call me at all.

Your name I screamed as I opened the door
Your name I cried when I found your body
Your name I  whimpered as I called the ambulance
Your name I whispered as they took your body away
Your name I breathed as I sat on your bed, alone.
LJ May 2021
And you said it
With no emotion
And you've said it before
To many
I was no different
But still
I felt honored
To be loved by you
