My Incomplete Self

It took me a long while
to realize what was wrong with me.
I couldn't understand,
what it was that I was missing,
even though it was right before my eyes.

I need a friend,
a friend to be closer to me than family.
The friends I already have can't fill that void
and my family makes it harder for me to live.
I need someone to tell me everything will be okay,
someone to hold my hand when I cry and pray.

It took me a long while
to realize that I was incomplete.
And even though now I know,
there's nothing for me to do
and the void keeps existing
in my shell of a living person,
in my incomplete shelf.

Without her, I'm not me.

I am a loner, have been for the last two years or so, and I wish my bestie Toni would move back to Athens even though she's not who she was. Even though she changed, I still cherish my best friend.
