In... Wonderland

Don't You Worry (w/ BroadwayBeatGirl)

You walked away from me for a reason only you will ever know;
Tossing and turning; dreaming in nightmares.
What did I do? Where did our love go?
Without a warning; screaming and scared.
I should be my own friend since I know what I have with me can't end;
These chest pains you've caused me are a lot to take;
I suppose this is what happens when you open up; love & heartbreak.

I should bolt my doors shut and board up my windows;
Grieving without becoming a widower.
I am in panic; sheer, unfiltered terror;
I can't believe our love is over.
Pacing up and down the empty halls;
Patiently practicing my "hello" should I expect one of your calls.
Please, come back to me, I'm desperate;
I am in agony; I am a heretic.

I know I shouldn't just sit here, staring at my phone, waiting for you to call. I can't help it,
it's become natural.
You were my safety net, the one person there for me when I began to fall.
I'll continue to write my fathomed world of words down for not just me, but for the sun, moon, and stars.
I will be in your every memory, we both know it will be impossible to forget me.
I will be lost without you for a while, but don't you worry, I know this isn't how it's supposed to be,
we'll meet again, eventually.
Though I'm confused, and have heartache and pain, don't worry about me, I'm fine peachy, okay.
Even though my world falls apart without you in it, even though I'm breaking down in panic everyday.
Don't you worry about me, I will eventually be okay.

You're on the other side of this city;
I wonder, I'm curious: Do you miss me?
I know you accidentally liked my picture on Instagram;
I can't tell you how happy that me; smiling like a fool into my phone.
I lost you once to life and again to Japan;
I'll be damned if you don't find your way home, to me.
Don't you worry, don't you worry.

I know you see me when your eyes close at night;
I know you hear me when you spin Red at the perfect volume; just right.
I know you feel me when you're alone in your bed;
I know you can taste me on the tongue in your head.
I'm invading what you once believed to be yours;
I'm gate-crashing your personal party; now ours.
I know I love you and I know you love me;
So, please don't you worry about this heartache stricken poetry.
Don't you worry about me; I'll be okay.
Don't you worry about me; I'll be okay someday.

Thank you to BroadwayBeatGirl for writing this poem with me. It was so much fun!
