Favorite Person

Are you still there?

Please don’t leave yet…

You said you’d stay.

Right?

⸻

I can feel your silence crawling on my skin

You say “it’s nothing,” but I know what that means again

I’m not paranoid — you’re just fading

And I can’t breathe unless you’re waiting

I changed my laugh to match your tone

Forgot myself to make you home

You’re my mirror, you’re my cage

You blink — I spiral into rage

⸻

And I know, it’s too much

But this is love, right?

You’re the only thing

That keeps me stitched up tight

⸻

You’re my pulse, my only thread

If you leave, I’m better dead

I’m not clingy, I’m just real

You’re the only thing I feel

I don’t know me without you

Please don’t find somebody new

You’re the silence in my scream

You’re the monster in my dream

⸻

I said I hate you — didn’t mean it

You smiled and I believed it

But when you type a little slow

I start unraveling below

You’re the calm inside my riot

But you make the riot quiet

And if you blink too long, I drown

Still smile while I’m breaking down

⸻

And I know, it’s heavy

But I’m just scared, alright?

You’re the moon that moves my ocean

Don’t turn off the light

⸻

You’re my pulse, my only thread

If you leave, I’m better dead

I’m not broken, I just feel

Like my skin was never real

You’re my storm, you’re my glue

Every thought comes back to you

You’re the silence in my scream

You’re the monster in my dream

⸻

I’d rather burn than feel alone

You’re the blood in every tone

If you stop calling — I’ll forget

If you stop loving — I’m a threat

⸻

You’re my pulse, you keep me whole

But you don’t know you have my soul

I’m too much, I know it’s true

But I would tear the world for you

⸻

You’re the silence in my scream…

You’re the monster in my dream.

Still…

I love you.
