Trying

The intensity in which I am able to love is surpassed by how deeply I can hurt

Does self inflicted emotional pain count as self harm?
Cause I keep listening for your voice in the chatter and when I finally pick it up, my chest feels like bursting
But I just can't stop

Right now, being broken up feels like my best friend has died
You were the one I shared my world with, not just my days but most of all, my mind
Now I can put myself out there but you're one I'd want to listen

You're still alive and out there but I can not be allowed to reach you
For I don't want to inflict this despair on you, as well

Yes, I am angry and yes, I am hurt
But after much contemplation, this is not your fault

Believing that would be too easy and while it may even ease my pain, it would not help me heal

And so I suffer
I will wait for it to end
