Normal Like me is hard to be,
and I thank you for trying,
to be not you, slowly killing you, slowly dying.
You are loved in a sense you won’t see.
You are loved in a way I could never be.
In the dark with me, you survive,
yet you’ll never thrive,
I could never give you what you need to be alive.
So hold me, as we sleep, as we weep,
You are who I want and yet cannot keep.
-Same as the previous poem, “Last Bet”.
