Who am I to be
Without you
Being me?

My emotions are
Eating at me. And
They
Are hungry.

You were you
And I was I
And we
Were perfect
Until you decided we weren’t
Or maybe
It wasn’t you
Maybe
It was societies view
Of what is and
What is not
Right

Let’s be happy
You said
But the confines
Of my worries
Distracted me
Into something
A little less than happy
And a little more
Of not quite something else
I was
Pulling myself down
In the chains
Of my thoughts
Confined
To the chains
Of my brain
Feeling everything
To the extreme

You smell
Like the rest of my life

I need him
In the ways
The grass needs the rain
And the plants need the sun
And the sky to be blue
All I want
Is to feel him
His body
Intertwined with mine
Moving with me
In a dance that
I could do
From memory
Again and again
Until it’s all I think about
The only thing
In repeat
On my mind
The feeling
I get
When I’m with him
And he’s with me
And all is right
Because I have
The world

Who am I to say
What I feel
After all, I’m just a girl
Trying to live in a harsh world
Seeming like people
Are dying to hurt her
And never knowing who’s on my side
