Depression Poems - Don't Leave

When I was a little girl, I was scared to be the last one asleep. I wanted the comfort of a light, an open door to sleep with. As long as I can remember, anyone that I ever met, I loved, and eventually lost. My world was made up of nothing but that person. All of my thoughts were consumed of that one person who just meant the world to me. I depended on him/her to take care of me, love me and always be with me. Like an addiction, they had to be there all the time-my happiness depended on it. They always left. I wasn't happy unless they were there. Ironically, I was still insecure in their presence. I guess I felt as though I needed them to survive-I often wonder if I wasn't somehow mentally or physically abandoned as a child. I share this so that maybe I will one day discover how to live on my own; without the dysfunction of a relationship who leaves anyways. Be happy.
