EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

You love me when you're sad

You hate me when I'm sad

I became your light

And I, my own dark

I'm your emotional support

But I never got support back

I held you up when I was bleeding

You never saw my cracks

You cried, I caught it

I cried, you ghosted

You healed, I rotted

Now I'm the one who's hopeless

I'm not a boy, I'm a bandage

I'm not a friend, I'm damaged

I'm not strong, I just broke in silence

I became background sadness

I was a lifeline in your war

But nobody noticed mine

You drained my soul with just one more

Till I ran out of time

I ain't human in your eyes

I'm comfort you don't deserve

I became your fucking therapist

But I can't even find my worth

You love the pieces I give

But hate the parts that hurt

You put me on your timeline

But never checked me first

I begged in silence

Died politely

Smiled while screaming quietly

They say it's so sweet

I bled sugar for wolves

They say it's so strong

Yeah, I carry death by the rules

I'm tired of being a fix

While I'm falling to pieces

I'm not okay

But y'all love me more when I'm speechless

I'm your emotional support

But nobody showed up when I fell

I built you peace with my pain

Now I'm just echoes in a shell

You called me when you broke

But left me when I broke more

I answered every cry

Who the fuck answered yours

I texted I'm not okay

And stared at silence for hours

I wrote songs as goodbyes

You reposted them like flowers

You love my words

But not my wounds

You called me wise

But left too soon

I ain't the hero, I'm the ghost
