Not real

I've never betrayed you
I've always been right beside you
has it really taken you this long to notice?

love is a beautiful thing except when its not returned
but I never seem to learn
people cut to survive
to them its the only way to stay alive
I love to hurt
its just how I work

I feel like I'm walking around with
"Insert advice here"
stuck on my forehead
but instead they look away

your presence is temporary comfort
speak to me
understand me
am I asking to much
don't leave me
stay
but no matter how much I plead
you always leave me

I shiver in the darkness of your shadow
I'm hating the coldness in you voice
do I really have a choice?
Is I do I choose not to be alone
I choose to be with you
but again you walk away
you leave me to stray
I dissipate
I try to save myself
but I'm to lost in this lie
drowning in the tears I've cried
and just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I sink farther into you
and more of me slips away each day
just extend your hand
because your my lifeboat
my light in the dark
please come save me

its then that I realize
your nothing like the you I've made
your not real
never were and never will be
you'll never save me
you'll never be what I hoped for
and now I can finally reach the floor
