were people
could be pushed
to **** someone
or hurt them
to get what they want;

because being
safe is necessary
to survive
in a world
like this;

but the void
is also safe
from people
that would get
close to you;

happy to be seen
being in the void
was getting too
lonely;

you look
i look

you get close
i approach

your heart beat uncontrollably,
mine follows

you lean into me
and i let you

we share a moment of
happiness

then you step away
and expect me

to follow that also
but i don't want to

pulling hairs
not sleeping
red eyes
caffeine
multitasking
scream at everyone

you look at me
with love
but then
you ignore me,
as if I mean nothing to you

you expect me
to love you
and no one else
when you can't even tell
me that you want

im tired of feeling
guilty for you
and having to wait

tell me that
you love me
in some
way, shape or form
before I give
up on you
ever loving me
