I needed you

I needed you to stop me and tell me how important I was
Instead I hid my scars and became oblivious to everyone
When i would cry myself to sleep at night,
I needed you to wipe the tears away
Instead I held my pillow tight while never ending
Tears streamed down my face
When my word was crashing down on me,
I needed you to be the one I ran to
Instead I locked myself in my room in complete despair
When i felt unloved,
I needed you to tell me how much you loved me
Instead I learned the words "I LOVE YOU" are meaningless
