We were both broken
Leaving pieces of us in memories from a happier past
Holding each other so we won't fall apart
Thank god I have you
Life's not that hard when you are standing by my side
Let's just keep following this path

Sometimes we trip over while we are chasing better tomorrows
Stumbling, twisting, losing the way..
But I know we'll be fine
if together we stay
I'll help you slowly forget your sorrows

Lean on me and I'll lean on you that's what you said to me and since then I knew we would be fixed eventually

the girl had Emotion in her fingers
her head was too empty with thoughts
and her heart too drained of recognition
that she stored her feelings in her fingertips

it starts with a feeling of something being wrong
all conversations feel fake
you're missing...
something
everything
smiles feel fake on your lips
and frowns leave a bad taste in your mouth
your feelings are gone
shrugged off like a coat
that you can't seem to find

your feelings are gone
separated by a glass wall
apathy is too little of a word to describe it
its the feeling of being stripped away of all context
all emotion and memories
you talk to the one you love
but love is hidden away
you can only feel a hint of it
like someone yelling at you
from a floor above
the only emotions that aren't gone
are fear and anxiety

it's vaguely terrifying
like a horror movie you've all but forgotten
you know something is wrong
but you're not worried enough to do anything to change it
you're a husk
and husks don't care what happened to them

the trigger? unpredictable
maybe I was feeling too much
from the sad book I had just read
the cure? who knows
the only thing that saved me today was a youtube video
when laughter forced its way from my chest
I felt my emotions flood back
this is all over the place, but so am I
Why do you call me, what do you need now?
You say you are a friend of mine, but I do not see how
Do you think that I'm a servant, and who are you, the king?
Whenever you need something, you only need to ring.
Like I don't have my own life or anything to do.
But sit and wait by the phone and hope to hear from you.
Insisting that I help you, whatever you request
Pretending that you give a **** is what you do best
Are you that stupid not to realize you can't work someone that way without it coming back to you and regretting it someday.
Thinking that you are smart, saying what I want to hear
Playing like you're there for me, acting so sincere
Manipulating with your words, finding where I'm weak
Knowing that I am the type to turn the other cheek.
Taking kindness for weakness is something not to do
Like playing with emotions, its bound to backfire on you.
I have always trusted you and what you said to me
Blinded by my own hopes, denying what I  see
Knowing what you really are is not a friend at all
And so next time you need to talk,
Find someone else to call.
