You left me.
But you're still here.

How could that be?

How could you be so close,
But disappear every time I reach out?
Every time I need you -
Do you understand that I need you?

To everyone else you act so real
But when I am near you fade away like mist into nothingness -
Like a rainbow.
You're full of lies,
You intangible thing.

Do you understand how you lied?
Do you understand that you left me?
Do you understand that I love you?
I love you
I love you
I love you

Just say it back,
I love you too
or - at least an
I hate you.
Anything, anything to prove your existence,
Anything that gives me some sort of sign of what to do, what to think-

You can't just leave me like this.
Please.
Reach past barriers
Fingertips press like a tender kiss
Or like your body when it melts into the ocean.

Inpatient
Crashing
Straining
And never enough.
stars inches apart
or light years from each other
so close yet so far
I can tell
By the side-glances
Head-tilts
Awkward pauses
Over-explanations
Forced laughs
Empty texts

That you don't actually want me around.
Do you pity me?
See that I'm just some sad excuse for a friend that you're too nice to abandon?

I'm sorry, then.
I'm sorry for being a burden friend.
Love me hard
Love me so it hurts
Love me 'till you can't
Love me forever after
I am fine
Go ahead, Turn blind eyes
Ignore the signs

'Cause I am fine
Theres no mental decline
And its not like I hate this life of mine

I'm fine
Totally fine inside the mind

When I say "goodbye"
For the last time
Don't gasp and cry

Couldn't you see past the glass lies?
Couldn't you see that I wasn't truly "fine?"

Or were you willing to simply stand by
Only caring to care when I had already died.
I'm still a child,
in most senses.

I would be one to say no child deserves to die.
And so I don't deserve to die.
