Cooing over me like I do not hear them

Don't leave me here alone

Don't let me hate myself anymore
Give me strength and confidence

To be close to you and be there for you.
The look in your eyes just tells me I aim too high.

I reached within,
Deep within myself,
Into my chest
I grasped my heart, wondering
