People will come to you,
For one reason or another.
Either drawn to you for friendship,
Or drawn to your light,
To feed.
It's more important to keep yourself up above,
Than regret the ways you let yourself fall to them.
You'll never get closure,
From broken people,
Who wanted to see a broken you.
The only way you can fill that gap,
Is by cleaning out the place in your heart they stayed,
So you have more space,
To grow.

For anybody feeling saddened, looking for comfort, or looking for words to match the ones your thinking, I'd suggest reading 'Pillow Thoughts' by Courtney Peppernell. It's a beautiful collection of mostly untitled poetry. Reading it has really helped me out, I feel strongly it may have the same affect on you. It's organized by feelings rather than chapters so you can skip around to read the pieces that match what you're feeling.
