we left home, and never looked behind

i am:

afraid,

fearful,

scared,

and terror-stricken.

i am terrified.

i am:

shaking,

flailing,

sinking,

and gasping for breath.

i am drowning.

i am:

broken,

damaged,

fragmented,

malfunctioning,

and cracked.

i am not okay.

we need to talk...

how long should i wait before i let you go?

whose side should i take when both of us are wrong?

whose eyes will you look in, when love is in your heart?

whose voice will serenade you to help you fall asleep?

just know that i love you,

even still,

even now,

even though we fell apart;

and i hope you'll be okay.
