• His eyes fill with sadness,
    His skin so soft yet hard,
    He looks at her and me at him,
    Grief weighs down my heart.

    Hanging with people that make me feel young,
    Just to be near him and try to make him better,
    Always reassuring and comforting,
    Never being reassured or comforted in return.

    He's trying to get back up,
    But grief and denial push him down,
    I'm there to catch him as he falls,
    But who's there to catch me?

    Days of conversations,
    Light and serious,
    Sad and happy,
    All mean nothing to him.

    I fill my pit with negativity,
    Yet try to fill his with positivity,
    One personal the other neccesary,
    He can count on me but who can I count on?

    Pride hides my spiraling emotions,
    He cries as I do in the rain,
    We are so similar,
    Yet all he sees is her.

    I try to convince him of positives,
    While feeling all negatives,
    Does he truly understand,
    Why I care?

    I feel unrequited love,
    I see my negative pit,
    I look only at him,
    I feel guilty for my friend.

    When will I be the one being caught,
    When will I be comforted and reassured,
    When will I be loved,
    When will I be taken care of?
