Can You Hear Me


I'm falling apart inside can't you see it? I need you in my life like the air I am breathing but you don't believe it.I can't escape you even when you're not around, my mind is cursed. You're in everything. It's your face I see on everyone else around me. I hear your voice in these walls but I am suffering in silence because every word I say you don't seem to hear. I love you. I need you. Do you need me? I'm falling apart inside can't you see it? Now you're miles away and I can't reach you. I never get a text or call. Everything around me is starting to fall. All I can grasp onto is the happiness in the memories. Your smile, your laugh. I'm trying to hold on before we lose it all but every word I say you don't seem to hear, I love you, I need you, do you need me? I'm falling apart inside can't you see it?
