I wake up There is moisture on my cheek A sound so broken Startled me awake I see I made it That sound is me I was reaching My hand in the place Where your head would rest The tear drop falls I hear a keening It's me I've lost my meaning It has been so **** long I've recovered Over and over But like an addict I relapse I muffle the sound Don't want the neighbors to know how messed up I am There are two pillows One between my legs Where our legs should be intertwined Where I can hold it to my chest I hold it close and it silences my sobs Unlike you It will not abandon me The other is beneath my head It used to be A platform Where we could look at each other Now it's empty Listening to the gut wrenching cries And catching the tears I still cry For you For the closeness I miss For the comfort I have only ever felt With You I whimper in my dreams My partner shut me out I don't sleep You were everything But now you scarcely even speak You're leaving me again And this time I can't be strong I can't bear it You are my sunshine Through the fog of depression You are the warmth In my frozen heart You make me happy And then you break me Please this time For me Either stay Forgive me Or Let me break my promise Because I've tried And I can't do this Not with you not filling Any capacity in my life In some way I need you A broken way Like the young girl who got lost in the thunderstorm Like I was when you first knew me Trust me Confide in me Let me be your comfortable As you have always been mine

Tear Soaked Pillow
I wake up There is moisture on my cheek A sound so broken Startled me awake I see I made it That sound is me I was reaching My hand in the place Where your head would rest The tear drop falls I hear a keening It's me I've lost my meaning It has been so **** long I've recovered Over and over But like an addict I relapse I muffle the sound Don't want the neighbors to know how messed up I am There are two pillows One between my legs Where our legs should be intertwined Where I can hold it to my chest I hold it close and it silences my sobs Unlike you It will not abandon me The other is beneath my head It used to be A platform Where we could look at each other Now it's empty Listening to the gut wrenching cries And catching the tears I still cry For you For the closeness I miss For the comfort I have only ever felt With You I whimper in my dreams My partner shut me out I don't sleep You were everything But now you scarcely even speak You're leaving me again And this time I can't be strong I can't bear it You are my sunshine Through the fog of depression You are the warmth In my frozen heart You make me happy And then you break me Please this time For me Either stay Forgive me Or Let me break my promise Because I've tried And I can't do this Not with you not filling Any capacity in my life In some way I need you A broken way Like the young girl who got lost in the thunderstorm Like I was when you first knew me Trust me Confide in me Let me be your comfortable As you have always been mine
