Her

It was lonely
It was harsh
tears fell from my
sleepless eyes

I didn't understand anything
Why I accepted it
Why I deserved this position

It wasn't until I was nothing
that I felt everything

I drowned my days in memories
I tried to stop the sober mind
I couldn't handle it

I couldn't breathe
And I was fading away

I was selfish in my sadness
I was losing what I love

I cried and cried until I couldn't
take the sound of the crying child inside

No one was coming
And someone needed to save her

I stomped both feet on the ground
the second I caught my breathe

She needed me

I was able to lift that
sad girl in my lap

I let her know I would now protect her

Me
