The Complicated Heart

Together but alone.

Work has stolen you away from me.

Or have you let it steal you away?

A distraction.

It was an option for you to take that extra shift wasn’t it?

You took it tho...

When you’ve not had 1 off day.

Distractions...

It allows for you to see less of me

Allows for more excuses.

It’s low key driving me crazy.

Are you with work or someone else?

As the year nears to its end

I’m wondering if we’ll make it to the next year.

My heart’s confused and has me talking to spirits that may or may not exist...

How can you love someone but wanna press pause at the same time?

Confused....

Heartbroken but willing to move past this.

For it’s me who feels abandoned.

I understand why this is happening.

I’ve been there.

But it took me to work on myself while everyone else wasn’t even worried about me, no question.

I need you to do the same....

If you want us to make it through to the next page.

The next chapter in our lives.

if you can’t tell...

My hearts slowly breaking for you and myself...

I don’t wanna hold on but then again I do...

My heart’s lost with or without you.
