I'm happy for you
Really, I mean it
There's nothing that I need more
Than to know you're doing alright

But I just... I can't help it...

Within the privacy of my own mind
I remind myself
That I will never have that kind of happiness
I will never get to live like that
And I want it so badly
I can't take it away from you
By letting you in on what I'm feeling
It would seem that some of my favorite people are doing quite well for themselves. Truly, I'm glad for them, but I am reminded of the emptiness inside me that I don't expect to ever be able to fill.
I take care of all of you
I make sure you’re all okay
And part of that job
Requires me to say,
“I’m fine”
When I know
You don’t have it in you
To take care of me
Or perhaps I know I’m a lost cause and just want to take care of you as long as I’m still around...
Do you think
Just for one single moment
I could forget I’m alone?
I’ll drink until I can’t think
I’ll cut open my wrists
I’ll do whatever it takes
Just... just help me forget...
Face is a screen where all your emotions are displayed.
1/5/2020
I exhausted every moment of my life
scattering seeds
in all bounds and boundary
of my deep-rooted burns,
and now a tangled, torch-lit garden grows.
I hate love
I know I’m bitter
I’m alone
What do you expect?
I’d love to feel something

Anything
