Keeping Up

I sometimes forget
That you still care
Because now that I need you
You are just not there

I hurt so very much
More than words can ever say
It’s so hard to keep my head up
With each lonely passing day

I try to take solace
In the words from your mouth
But it’s my goddamn thoughts
That send my emotions south

I want this to be easy
I would like the pain to go
I would like for you to show me
I would love to just know

I can’t be the one
To convince me of all this
Because if you leave it up to me
I’m surely going to miss

I need so very little from you
At least in my own mind
I just need a little more
Than your expressions that are kind

So tell me that you love me
But not at my request
And once you can do that
This broken heart can rest
