Let Me Know

I have a shrine of you in my mind...

Let Me Know

Am I your heart?,

Let me know what’s up so I won’t feel so down,

Am I your desire?,

Let me know what to feel so I won’t feel lifeless,

Do you love me?,

Let me know because my self love is absent,

I have become so dependent on your opinion that mine is nonexistent,

I have a shrine of you in my mind that I cling on to distant my troubles,

Using your presence as a crutch so I won’t drown in my sorrow,

Letting go me to soak up more of you because you’re the only thing I’m sure of,

If you knew this would you stay?,

I don’t you think you would, so I’ll continue to hang on to this illusion.
