We weep on opposite sides of the same town,
Our tears drowning all the worlds between us.
We each press our lips against our phone screens, willing the other to love us-
Not knowing that we are both doing the same.
We yearn for one another,
Yet are completely oblivious to the other's desperation.
Text messages dart back and forth
Between us.
Each one laced with kisses and smiles,
Both of us pretending we are dry-eyed.
But who are we fooling?
Why do we disguise our emotions, when talking to the only person who sees straight through the disguise?
The futility is almost ironic,
Highlighting humans' longing to be anyone but their
Ashamed
Damaged
Broken
Selves.
Even to those they love.
Oh how I love you.
So dearly
And so much.
Help me to tell you.
I can't do it alone.
I'm sorry.
