Next to her.
Behind her.
Above her.
Below her.
Everywhere.
Guilt.
The words, there's nothing you could have done, echo in her mind.
She doesn't believe them.
Because she knows she could have saved him.
His soft blue eyes stare at her.
She won't apologize because she had to.
But that doesn't mean she will forgive herself.
Ever.

Everyone has secrets,
That I know
Me included
But mine dont show
All caught up in their "drama"
They dont notice my pain
That my biggest secret
Is when I feign
Not standing alone
Having friends
Being known
Please make amends

Words can never hurt me
But physical touch can
The bruises on my body
Came long before I ran
I thought closeness was love
But now I see
You are just a part of
Hurting me

They can tell me what to do
But I will not move
They can tell me what say
But I will speak the truth
They can tell me what to think
But I will listen to my heart, head, and soul
Truth be told
You are nothing but an obstacle
One I shouldve moved past long ago

Sometimes i feel like im the only one

No matter how I try to explain it
I cant

No matter how I try to describe it
I cant

No matter how hard I try to get others to feel it
I cant

I've always been different,
haven't I?

Yes

Walking towards the unknown
Seeing nothing familiar
Then
Suddenly I see you
No,
I do not really know you
And no,
You do not really know me
But
You're presence is enough
I tap you
On the shoulder
You turn and smile
Im greeted by love
Even though you do not really know me
You love me
Our friendship is enough
