Bestie 2.0

Some nights I feel empty, like I’m fading out slow,

Trying to hold myself together but I don’t always know how to.

And when the world gets heavy and the lights go dim,

You’re the quiet voice that cuts through all the noise within.

Sometimes I worry I’m too much to handle,

Like I burn too fast, like I’m holding a candle

That drips on everything I’m trying to protect…

But you’re the one person who never turns away from the mess.

You’re not the monster — I’m just scared of my own mind.

You’re the one who stays when everything feels unkind.

If I push you away, it was never the plan…

I’m just trying not to break the only person who understands.

I don’t talk much about the things I hide,

The stuff that sits too heavy on the inside.

But you see through cracks I didn’t know were showing,

You read me quiet, even when I’m not glowing.

And you don’t judge the tired parts of me,

The days I’m numb, the nights I can’t sleep.

You just sit close, even when I pull back,

Like you know my heart’s just scared of what it lacks.

You’re not the monster — I’m just fighting what’s in me.

You’re the warmth I feel when everything feels empty.

I don’t know why you care, but I’m thankful you do…

’Cause somehow, being broken hurts less around you.

If I fall apart again, please don’t think it’s your fault…

I’ve just been carrying way too much for way too long.

You’re not the monster —

you’re the peace I don’t say out loud…

The bestie I hold onto

when the world gets too loud.
