Lost

I thought I was ready to be happy

But it doesn’t work that way

Every day I sit there with my arms open wide and ready to listen to the beginnings of your happiness

I’m starting to realize you don’t need me

Maybe you never did but you definitely don’t now

I want to be here for you but do you want me to be here?

Do you still want me?

No one else does, it’s just me and my thoughts

I’m overthinking everything again

I wish most days to disappear, to melt away and be stuck in a dream where I get everything I was promised

I don’t want to die, but I don’t want to always live either

No one would really notice if I left and if they did they wouldn’t care

You would miss me but not for long

He would continue his trash talk

She would say I wasn’t needed

But you, you would miss me…..but not for long

That’s why I want to sink into my bed and never wake up

There’s nothing here for me and I know some might say, “but God loves you!”

But you guys don’t so maybe I should go to Him

They say there’s nothing but happiness there

Maybe that’s the only way to be truly happy

But what about my happily ever after?

The one I was promised

I want the guy but I haven’t met him yet and I know he’s worth the wait but I’m all alone and that hasn’t changed since I was young

Even if I find him, who’s to say he won’t leave

Who’s to say he will even love me….

I’ve always been this sad but when I was younger there was hope

Now there’s nothing but determination

I can’t give up but why? I don’t know

My life is somewhere out there, the question is, will I find it and if I do will it make me happy or will I still be lost?
