Never lets me go.
He keeps me up at night.

Confusion sets in.
My mind is a blur.
Overthinking too much,
So hard to endure.
She may seem alive
But she's dead inside.
How can one live
When the important things died?
This hit me hard. This is exactly what I felt every day. Without my "friends" I had nothing to think about. I felt numb. With them I can't think about what's happening inside my head.
