“A Sight For Sore Eyes”

Love isn’t to be neglected,
or being left alone when i needed you the most.
love isn’t pointing out my insecurities,
like you weren’t the one who created them.
it’s not telling me i’m everything you never wanted,
when all i tried to be was perfect for you.
Sitting silently with my back pressed against the bathroom wall.
the hall down from you,
trying to fade out your shouting.
maybe you were fed up with life yourself,
however you acted as if it was all on me,
and seeing you sick felt like your soul was slowly draining away,
just like the emotion in your sore eyes.
