I stand by the mirror
Watching my eyes swell with tears
They leak down
Onto my cheeks
The entire time
I wish
I wish for you to wipe them away
For you to embrace me in your hug
Cause I want to feel
The warmth of your body close to mine
I want you to tell me it’s okay
I want you to kiss away the pain
I’m the only one who’s weak
I’m the only one who’s ready to give up and go
I’m the only one who’s not good enough
I’m the only one who’s dying inside
But I don’t let them see
Cause it’s the after that worries me
I don’t want to explain the unexplainable
I don’t want them to see how weak I truly am
The tear trickles down
And I want you to wipe it away
I want you there to say that it’s okay
But every time I imagine
You’re gone
And I’m here
Still crying myself to sleep
While you go, smiling with that twinkle in your eye
