i haven't seen you care
in months
i haven't seen you love
in years
i notice when you put up walls
and change yourself
to fix your fears
i'm there
when you drop your smile
and stare blankly at your phone
texting about emotions
you don't feel
thinking it will fill
your empty soul
trying to have it all
i get that you need
attention
to validate yourself
i know
how it feels
but can't you stop
trying to fill your
silence
and
pause
your need
to be
loved
and look
for a second
slow down
and listen
because i'm always
here
and you're
always searching
for the next
high
