Love Me Now

who will love me now?
i'm nervous that when the time comes
i won't be able to get over you.
it's creeping up and you said
you're moving on
and this time you'll be gone for good.
it's been said before
but it's been a month now
since you've held me.
you're creeping through the city
looking for anyone who wants you
and i want you.
 
who will love me now?
because it's getting hard to act human
and you aren't here
to pinch me back into reality.
the worst part is how i understand
why someone like you
would run from someone like me. 
 
when i met you
i thought that you'd be easy
and you'd always want to please me
because my head wasn't on right
and i thought i was better than myself.
foolish and young with a THC lung
and the need to over value my love.
i can't even tell if i'm me anymore,
i used to be the sweetest girl
with a head full of laughter
and a quiet pride
in knowing i had nothing to hide.
 
who's in the mirror
and why does she look thinner
than the stranger here just yesterday?
she looks so familar but i can't put my finger
on where i must have seen her.
either way, it's only today
and tomorrow will bring new faces.
 
who will love me now?
when we started i was so thankful
that somebody wanted to stay.
now i'm just thankful to stay away
because i know what it means to love you
and how much i'd need to pray
just to not lose myself in you.
this time it feels like the end.
