I don't want to eat
unless it's to be selfish,
or to fill a void I made.
I don't want to sleep
unless it's to forget,
to pass the time.
I don't want to breathe
unless it's to drag water to my lungs,
in that precious sea.
I don't want to talk
to you, to anyone, i'm tired,
no one wants me anyways.
I don't want to kiss
the pretty petals from the roses
that riddle my heart.
I don't want to live
unless it's to be you.

I’d like to pass on a piece of advice given to me by a beautiful poetess here on mps. “Pen all within your heart and never fear your audience.” That’s what a good writer does. Write for you and nobody else. If what you’ve wrote here made you feel better,you’ve done a great job. Cheers🥂🌹🕊🌞
Well written, honest poem.
