Alone

The need for constant presence.

I feel alone. In mind and in matter. As if my heart was shattered, so long ago, Time has lost to many pieces for me to feel whole.

Left behind, pushed away. It's always the same. How can I not think that I am to blame? Fuck your bullshit, don't need it. I don't have time for your sweetness or sympathy.

The truth can't make me feel worse than this. Constant confusion. False loyalty. Why can't I be a priority? For once.

I don't want to talk. Just want to feel your presence. Is that to much to ask? Or are you too indifferent? Do I not deserve to feel like my feelings crossed your mind?

Maybe they do and you still choose To do what you want. Because why would you put me first? "I love you. I need you." But only if you're the one nursed Back to health. Always giving up myself, Just to fix someone else. When no one is trying to fix me.

I am alone. In mind and in matter. As if my heart was shattered, so long ago, Time has lost to many pieces for me to feel whole.

About the Creator

Maddie

They're never just words, are they...

At least not in my world. Just a 22 yr old, with one to many diagnosies, trying to figure it out.

Welcome to the product of my perception. Part of me hopes some can relate; the other is sorry if you do.
