Blissfully unaware, driving away
I feel her slipping from my reach, her echo from afar
Does she know?
Does she know I lay awake at night, suffocating under the hurt she causes me?
Does she know I need her more than air?
I want to scream, "wake up!"
I want to scream, "I need you!"
She's blind, spiraling in cravings and emotions it seems I can no longer provide
Left to vend for myself, to care about my own well-being, do parents stop loving us when we turn 18?
I want to scream at her, "you're my best friend!"
I want to scream at her, "don't leave like my father has!"
Does she hear me without us fighting and screaming?
Does she see my broken heart?
I feel her slipping away from my reach, her echo from afar
Does she know?

You've expressed yourself pretty beautifully I must say. Sometimes talking helps, and sometimes staying silent speaks volumes on its own. Whatever it is, I hope you guys clear things up soon.
Thank you so much. We're in a better space now, thankfully. This was written a while ago
A sensitive write Jody.
