Crestfallen

we're all a little dead inside, and that's okay

there will always be doubts,
uncertainty,
nights of overthinking.
thoughts that make you feel
like you're drowning.
but there's someone out there
who feels the same.
who stays up late just wondering.
what could go wrong?
it feels right but for how long?
is he the one?
will she stay for as long as she wants?

they say that love is patient and love is kind,
but is it not love when your heart is tired?
when you're a chaos personified,
a mess no matter how hard you tried.
when you're not the angel in disguise,
but an evil sent for their demise.
how can you be saved?
how can someone be your safe place?

there will always be pain,
heartbreaks,
days of overcoming.
situations that either make or break you,
can't run away even if you want to.
but the world is full of broken people
who feel the same.
who get up to try again.
anything could go wrong,
but we'll always find a way.
we'll always try and choose to stay.
we're all a little dead inside,
and that's okay.
