The Effect
I have tried to keep you happy, to prevent you from being sad
I have made you laugh, made you cry, made you not want to die
You saved me, help me define who I am, and who I thought I was supposed to be
I thought we were doing well, doing fantastic
You were my best friend
I thought we were meant to be
But here I am crying and wanting to die
Because you ended our relationship from a text to me after you got one from our ex
I now have no friends
I am lonely
I am dying
Then that night I send out a warning call
Not for long and not making any sense
Nobody understands
Nobody feels the hurt
The strive to succeed
Maybe I should leave? I'm scared, no I'm terrified
