Everything crumbling down,
You took my words and twisted me.
Pasty white and left alone,
An abandoned kitten on the street.
Bruised internally and crushed to nothing,
Am I allowed to feel this empty?

Standing cold and tired,
Hot tears stream down forever.
Night air surrounding every corner,
Stars glowing in every universe.
Couples,
Families,
Friends,
A smiling face in all directions.
Can I be happy too?
