Sick again

by michael-pick

I know that I'm getting sick again Because every hour of silence makes me think that you don't love me And it's getting harder to convince myself that you should You don't seem to have noticed how walled up I am, but I'm sorry And I am so glad that you didn't hear me crying while you slept Because I am so in love with you and you shouldn't love me back It's unhealthy for me to centre my life around you, and I know it But I can't help that you're everything that I never thought I'd get Where we're at now, we can only see each other on the weekends And those few days are everything that I live for and want to maintain But as the week goes on I lose myself to needing you and I fade so fast I try to keep myself occupied during the day while I can Working my skin to the bones and burning the breath from my lungs But come night time, I sink and I sit in the dark with no sound I just don't know how to get out of this slump yet again I don't know how to believe that it's worth it in the end Dragging people down is a specialty that I would like to break As opposed to the constant chance of breaking you Or the recurrence of the thought that a break up would be best Jesus Christ, darling I am such an awful and worthless mess Every day I see other men who could replace me and probably should When it comes down to it, you deserve a world that I cannot give And that's a horrible thought that makes me cry when the room is quiet You are everywhere as my mind is all over the place and again I'm sorry Every part of my very being needs you just so that I can live But I won't guilt you to stay or create expectations that I don't have Every part of my very being knows that you should leave and become your best I know that I am getting sick again And that if I listen to the virus in my head, I'll be damned
