Intimacy and Deprivation

We grow closer as the years go,
Intimacy and deprivation become
Fearful parts of every child’s existence
Wondering if you’re the one for them.

Days, months, years go by,
And you’re no longer the one for them,
You aren’t the one they want to cry to,
To share the secrets you used to share.

Stories shared are crumbled pieces of paper,
Whose existence isn’t noticed anymore,
Whose meanings lost all meaning,
Whose life lost all of its essence.

So head down you trudge on,
Regretting nothing but mistakes,
And ideas that you thought were good,
But were told were wrong.

No room to judge for yourself,
Because you still think she is perfect,
You still think she is your world,
And everything in it.

Your dreams are of her hair,
Softly blowing in the wind,
across your cheek, her face
nestled into your very own chest.

Happiness isn’t anything but her,
But her happiness falls in cracks,
That she doesn’t know exist,
And all you want,
—is her happiness.
