But the truth is I lay there numb not wanting to move.

I stare at computer screen lost.

But I hit rock bottom so fast and so hard I shatter to pieces on the ground.

God & Man

And my friends ask how I am and I cant answer.

I cant make them understand the weight of heavy feelings watching someone go.

But how can you not when you meet this person who teaches you to love yourself?

God & Man

Like Im the one that fucked up.

Had I not said something wrong or done something they would have stayed.

I put it all on me and blame myself.

I hold it over my own head.

I apologize to God hoping He will pass along the message.

I beat myself up as if I deserve to live with this.

They meet me in my dreams that turn to nightmares haunting me.

And I lay there sick to my stomach and I run to the bathroom and I throw up.

Only nothing but spit is coming out because I havent eaten.

I have nothing to say.

Nothing to add to conversations.

Im the last person youd want to invite to a party.

Physically Im there but emotionally Im so checked out.

And I go to the doctor and they sign a paper.

As if pills are to solve the problem.

But there arent enough pills I can pop to fill the emptiness you left me with.

If I was a little more whole.

A little less needy.

A little more normal.

Maybe theyd stay.Every time someone leaves I think Im the one who lost something.

With every exit, I lose myself watching the ones I love go.

I search for them in the eyes of strangers hoping maybe Ill find myself again.

Every time someone leaves I venture to numb the pain.

Envious of those who can write others off and never think about them again.

But a heart like mine takes everyone with me even those I lose along the way.
