BROKEN PROMISES
(July 25, 2013)
You told me you'd be there for me no matter what happened. When I was feeling hopeless, when I wanted it all to end, that's when I needed you the most, but you were nowhere to be found.
Why are you never around when I need you? Why do you always leave me hanging on the line, listening to the silence instead of your soothing voice that brings me comfort and keeps me going in a world that seems to pull me down deeper and deeper with every breath that I take?
It's like you don't exist. It's like I don't matter. Why do you stick around? You might as well not exist.
