Somber

In a room full of wet tissues,

But still full of trust issues.
Always been an emotional wreck,
Ceaselessly watching my heart break.

Desire to just take rest,

After so many sleepless nights,
Of me staring at the ceilings,
And reminiscing feelings.

Long for self-love a bit more,

So done being a people pleaser.

Don’t wish to be so somber,

I want just want to be happier.

It’s been a while
It’s been a while since
You looked at me and smiled

It’s been a while since

You responded sweetly

It’s been a while since

We smiled in a frame together

It’s been a while since

We laughed together

It’s been a while since

You told me how pretty and precious I am

It’s been a while since

You said I am just like you

It really has been a while
