I Was Right Here

Wake up every day

Thinking I’m next to you

But when I turn around and see the truth

Everything turns a shade of blue

 

From your sweetest of snores

To the times you’d wake up at night

Frantic, thinking I had left

But no

I was right here, I wouldn’t leave you

You say I can’t leave

I won’t

I can’t


I can’t leave my world

You’re my world

I’m on an orbit, one that rotates around you

Like the Earth is to the Sun

I cannot sustain myself without you

Your fear of me leaving is unjust

I thought mine was too

But you’re gone


I was right there

You got so scared I’d leave

I should’ve been the one worried

I can’t see you, I can’t hear you at all

It’s like my senses have gone numb

I can’t even think

Can’t think apart from a feeling of emptiness

An emptiness you filled

 

Because I thought you wouldn’t leave

When you were so worried about me


The author's comments:

I wrote this poem to vent about my relationship, the feeling of how I would never be there to protect her, or the fact that I would get hurt while caught up in worry.
