What's He Worth...?

He was her air, a necessity to live
He made her day everday and gave her a reason to breathe
She was filled with happiness, to the point where she was high, until he left, and then the emptiness settled in
But she knew he'd always be there, no matter what
With him, she'd never be hurt...

Happiness turns sour and he's gone
Anxiety makes home in her heart and she ponders if he's done
No words said between them, failed attempts and empty feeling
A week of silence, a week of stress, a week of worry
Tear-streaked cheeks and a broken heart and she wonders what the boy is really worth...

Another day, the same old pain
A new girl and a whited-out lie
Labeled with thicker lines than imaginable, a space diverging the two
She felt shattered and every shred of true joy high-tailed it when he did.
She wonders, "Will it get worse?"...

Despite the tears
Despite the awkward silence
Despite the girlfriend
Despite the boyfrend
She knows the boy is worth it all...
