It all feels wrong
To smile
To laugh
Everything
I feel horrible
For finding joy in things
For making future plans
For making memories
The world feels empty
Without you in it
The air is too thick
To breathe on my own
You once told me
You wanted me to live
I'm trying
But it's hard
It was never supposed to be this way
You promised me
That you'd be okay
At least you're at peace now
People always tell me I'm strong
That I can get through this
But they fail to realize
That the guilt is eating me alive
It's not right
That you're not here
And I feel guilty
For living
