With all the love you generate for others,
all the kindness you may radiate
to keep everyone else warm,
And all the smiles and "I love you"s
you can extract from their lips,
When it comes down to it,
You still will be left alone
with someone who doesn't know
how to be kind to you.
No matter how thoughtful
and caring you are,
And how many beautiful words
you may hand out
Without being asked to,
You still will come home to someone
who will find it too exhausting
to sit and talk with you.
No one will come running after you
To hold you
And wipe your tears.
-No one will come running after you-
And you will be left
alone
With the only one who knows.
She will stand and watch you cry
until you can't any longer,
She'll tell you to watch a show,
Or scroll through Instagram,
Until the stillness settles in,
And she will wait until the morning comes
To watch you leave yourself again.
