It's only ever one text away
Or rather no text
To be left

The constant fear of being alone
Making sure I'm never alone
Screaming in my head
Keeping me awake

My cries for help fall on unwanted ears
And my screams are left unheard
By those, I needed to hear them most

And when I pull you close
It feels as if my arms are extending
Pushing away those I needed
Abandoning myself in a sea of loneliness
I've done it to myself haven't I?

-To Those I Love
