it used to be you and me.  me and you.
in you i was satisfied.
you commanded me to love others.  to open up to them.
this is where it left me.

hurt. alone. broken. tired. bitter. depressed.

i serve. i pray. i laugh. i spend most of my waking hours doing “your work.”
yet i’m still here alone.  no one knows me.  no one cares.

i dream of days when i leave and never come back.
who would care?  who would notice?

i know i shouldn’t care.  i know i should only care for you.
no earthly treasures.  in you my hope lies.
