Need

If only you could see the real me

The one that I’ve kept hidden from everyone

You’d realize that I still need you near me

I need you to hear me screaming to make the pain gone

This intensity keeps me in the dark

I wish I knew how to make it go away

If there were anything I could’ve said

That will keep you here, tell me what to say

Lonely days and lonelier nights

Plague me week after week

It’s the comfort of your closeness

That I always seek

I’ve tried to be strong for you

I can only take so much mental abuse

The feelings wracking up inside me

Letting them out has no use
