Don’t see

What you don't see

Is I need you more than you ever needed me

i was just a footnote in this life

A moment in your history

What you don't see

I was drowning in loneliness

My days filled in silence

Struggling with emotional strife

What you don't see

Was the void you filled

I didn't  know I was empty

My days turned brighter

What you don't see

Is my absence of bliss

Dark where I dwell

The tomb where I'm sealed

What you don't see

How I lay awake at night

The hollowness inside

The silent tears I fight

What you don’t see

Is this struggle I hide

My inner war

How I’m dying slow

What you don’t see

Is how I long to hold you tighter

How I wish for just a kiss

To lean into you in the moonglow

What you don't see

Is me
