Poetry

When nothing

Advertisements

Else in life is clear I’ve always had you to guide and hold me.

And as I lie my head on you should and my hand on your heart that beats on and on.

I wish the simple things were all we lived for, and the big things would be up for us to grab when we’re ready.

So I wouldn’t have to depend on you always to comfort me when I mess up, and maybe then I would be strong enough to get through on my own.

I know we’re not children anymore, and I have to stand on my own, for you have troubles too.

But I know this time your words will sink in, and I am worth it, and I’m meant for so much more.

But I have to believe it, too, to do something about it.
