this isn’t a poem
as much as it is a confession
everything about you makes my soul sing

but when the nights come
I can’t sleep

do I make you happy

I know you deserve better babe
but I’m too selfish to let you go
because I know once you’re gone

I’d leave this place too
without you I can’t hold myself up

and not in a pathetic romantic way

but in a you’re my best friend and I ******* need you
I can’t manage my mind on my own
you’re the only one that has stuck by me

and I get so scared
because sometimes I think

nobody else ever will
