Spilt Ink II

Nothing compares to your gentle touch against my face
Your words can heal any wound
But when you’re gone, I bleed out
And right now I am bleeding out
I need you by my side
I need you here with me
I can’t make it without you
I’ve tried, I’m dying inside
I’m breaking down
But I’m left here to deal with it alone
Grab me and tell me it’s all gonna be okay
Please, tell me it’s all gonna be okay
Are you there?
Please, tell me that you’re there
Because you’ve been missing for a while now
They say time heals all, but time has made the pain worse
I am trying to be okay
I’m trying to be the man you told me I could be
I’m trying 
I swear to God or whoever is listening that I am trying
Please believe me there
Please believe me
Please hold me
The tears are rolling down 
But your hand isn’t there to catch it
Your lips aren’t there to kiss it
Your words aren’t there to stop me from feeling the weight of the world
As it crushes me inside 
I’m trying to stay strong 
I’m trying to stand tall
I’m trying to be the man that you told me I could be
I know I can be the man that you want me to be
I feel him wandering within,
But I feel like he never shows up
Just the demons within
That always seem to surface
I’m falling
I’m crashing
I’m burning
I’m dying
I’m trying
Please tell me I’m gonna be alright
Run to my side and catch me before I collapse
Catch me before it’s too late
Show me that you’re still there
Show me that you still care
Tell me that it’s gonna be okay
Please tell me I’m gonna be okay
