A crap poem

(but it suits how I feel)

Say one thing
And do another
Yet held up on this pedestal
When really just a hypocrite.
Disgusting
How many times
Tried and failed,
Disappointment.
How many thousands of times
Before we just admit
We're fooling ourselves?

Curse this place
Fear never finding it again
Fear it will never let me go
Silence
Speaking loudly to my doubts
This does not matter to you anymore
Unsure exactly when that changed
Been a while
Sometimes it is so difficult to believe
The past mattered

Lifted Up

When I looked into those eyes
I found nothing but despair
No signs of hope
No desires, save one
Shaken by the emptiness,
I lifted you on my back
Then, as if looking in a dimly lit mirror
I faced my own despair
My own darkness
Born for the world to see
I cannot see the sun behind the clouds
But I know you believe
And lift me up

It's one thing to feel yourself growing apart from another
  unable to make it stop

It's quite another to suddenly realize you're already apart
  not knowing why it happened or how

It leaves you with a million questions
  a million answers could never fit to

Do you remember when you thought you saw me?
you shouted my name
and we embraced

I remember when I first heard your voice
you said so very little
and I felt inadequate

Do you remember when we first met?
you were three feet close
and endlessly distant

I'm trying desperately not to care
  and failing miserably

I sought for why I still care
  the answer was not that I ought to

Not even that I wanted to
  the answer was simply because I do
