I never meant to feel this way
To fall in love with you.
I didn’t think it could happen
That you could love me too.
Throughout the ups and downs
You have stood by me,
Allowed myself to live
And through new eyes, life I see.

A loneliness
An emptiness,
A dull, numbing pain.
A void I cannot find.
You ask if it is you and I?
But that I know is real.
I think I’m scared
Of loving you
Not being good enough
Pretty enough
Kind enough.
Not being perfect for you.

We shared a special love
One of friendship
Bodily emotions.
Yet now it is extinct.
Even the speech has gone.
With the words of anger
Hate.
Always prevalent.
Our friendship is lost
Just like our love.
