Empty voids long to be filled.
I wish you were enough.
This simple life.
Taking care of everyone.
During your late nights, and weekends away.
Lonely and broken.
Pain deepening within my heart.
You stare at me with your eyes closed.
You hear the sniffles of my silent cries.
You see my tears and say nothing.
And then you leave.
As if you don’t care that I’m falling apart in front of you.
I seek comfort in strangers.
Strangers who make false promises
Hopeful to feel their warmth.
Basking in small temporary happiness.
Vulnerability and opening doors
Their hands a bandaid on the cracks on my heart.
But when they take them away, it only breaks more.
Feeling worse than ever.
More lonely and broken than I would have been,
If I had just sat alone and cried.
I guess I deserve this.

Empty voids long to be filled.
I wish you were enough.
This simple life.
Taking care of everyone.
During your late nights, and weekends away.
Lonely and broken.
Pain deepening within my heart.
You stare at me with your eyes closed.
You hear the sniffles of my silent cries.
You see my tears and say nothing.
And then you leave.
As if you don’t care that I’m falling apart in front of you.
I seek comfort in strangers.
Strangers who make false promises
Hopeful to feel their warmth.
Basking in small temporary happiness.
Vulnerability and opening doors
Their hands a bandaid on the cracks on my heart.
But when they take them away, it only breaks more.
Feeling worse than ever.
More lonely and broken than I would have been,
If I had just sat alone and cried.
I guess I deserve this.
