Sometimes
I am afraid
You will
Just up
And leave
That you
Will find
A quick replacement
For the piece that was
Said to be lost
That you will
Fill that gap
So easily
That it hurts
On both ends

Now I know
This is not what
A good friend would
Say
I’m not allowed
To feel
A thing
Because that’s just
The rule

But it’s what
I feel
And I cannot
Help this
Can I?

That you won’t
Feel
On the other end
On the other side
The side that is miles away
Years
And a life
Away

I feel myself
Drifting
Something to hold on to
Sometimes to call home
Nope, can’t find it

Because I’m not just
A dog with a bone
Content where I am
I need something
To hold on to
Something
That will never
Leave

But ya know
It’s all in my head
Because
That’s what they said
