Dedication

im running on empty
ive got no energy
the world is moving slow
and so am i
im dedicated to him
i stand in the cold for him
id give him the world
but its not mine to give
id walk through fire to help him
but theres nothing i can do
he needs things i cant give him
he wants somebody that im not
i dont think he sees
just who i am
he only sees the good
he doesnt know my secrets 
that i hide from the world
i dont dare tell him
for i dont know what itd bring
i try so hard
but i always do it wrong
everything i say
makes him upset
im at the apex of my emotions
and i cant quite comprehend
what im supposed to do
to make him love me back
