She was always waiting for the other shoe to hit the floor —

Always anticipating the roof to cave in over her head

She felt impassable,
never able to get close enough —

The breathing in her chest growing incredibly heavier by the minute, as if someone had gone inside her rib cage and tied stones to her lungs

She saw no one was there —

She thought no one knew how to care,
no one knew how to love her the way she needed to be loved

Like she would always be disappointed, even if they tried

So she sits alone, wiping tears from her eyes
