i didn't intend
to forget
the inspiration
that you brought up
inside of me.

but it seems
somewhere along the road
i did.

i reached
all the way until i could trust you.
i didn't have a need
to reach,
but i started to get into our story.
i got close
and then
i was
g  o  n  e

i've been fighting for so long
i'm so tired of singing this same old song.

"i'm fine, i swear"
i say to people who don't even care.

waiting by my phone for a single friend to text
but it's fine, they usually just forget.

i've been alone before,
it was something i was always able to afford

but now?
i don't know how to live
when i have so much left to give
and the people around me
don't care whether i'm free
from my burdens because
a burden that is mine
could never hurt them
... right?

i'm empty and my friends don't care
but its fine, i swear
