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

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.
