While you were away
I felt misguided and could barely sleep
Wish that you would stay
I fought my demons while you counted sheep
Just tell me what to say
I'd swim in dark oceans to see you here
Made from my very own tears

I heard the news that you found him last week
And while you 2 met up, I got so meek
I punch the walls in my own mental scape
He saved your heart while I struggled to escape
Please pick up the phone
I guess all heroes don't have to wear capes
Back when I was one to you

I hear you as it plays on repeat
emotions grill me as I feel the heat
I fight the air, yet end up in defeat
So you won't answer that phone?

I swear in my texts as my tears type the words
You think I hate you when I'm this absurd
I still see you as such a shining star
Can't find another as you raised the bar

I send the last text saying "I miss you"
I lose confidence "and I'm sorry too"
"I hope you know that our love was true"
And I would give the world just to meet you
Something I wrote a good while back and never had it in me to post, I feel now is a good time
