Mourning

Think I need to get my eyes checked
Because I see you everywhere, but I know you are no longer here
Where did you go and why did you have to leave so soon
Didn't think I would have to say goodbye before noon
You closed your eyes for the last time, and I still opened mine
Sometimes I wish it was the other way around
Instead of me going round in the same circles
I need a new circle because my triangle is killing my, my, my, 
Me needs counseling and I need medicine 
I got both for a little and it helped but still I needed something more to get out of this predicament
Why does heartbreak always feel so permanent
Like you left me crying and time froze
On pause so my tears never get the chance to falll
And without water we can't grow
Like a flower covered in snow
It doesn't even snow in Texas 
But my feelings make it feel the opposite
Restless nights
Dreams I had to fight 
Just to wake up to a reality where I didn't want to be
They say we all exist for a purpose 
But per my heart I can't find where to start 
I know deep down my being is art
But I feel so disconnected from the creator
Or maybe I'm just a mistake 
p.s. I hope I find out one day...
