stop. put that ******* alcohol down i just want to look into your eyes without seeing the ghost of your past trying to drown itself, because this isn't an ocean, and i'm not an angel. i don't understand why the sky is still lit up, it's 12 o'clock and the sun should be asleep but you're crying and i'm shaking and we're a mess on the floor. you're not really broken you're just pretending.  you don't even know how to breathe without an official diagnosis, but you're not broken and you have to stop hiding. you know i love you, but you're hiding and you know how much i hate it when we play hide and seek. now it's 1am, and the sun's about to come out (who knows why). the dog next door is barking, he must have heard your echoing sobs and felt the emotion radiating from our house. but i can't stay awake for another second so you have to let go, and you have to help yourself because i can't even handle putting the coffee on in the morning. maybe in the morning you'll be stronger, and maybe you won't but either way we can still do this, i still want to hold you.
