STOP ASKING ME
WHAT I WANT TO BE
WHEN IVE NEVER REALLY
EVEN KNOWN
WHO I AM

the thorns
that cover your heart
seep out in words
dripping in violent
context

and i am merely
building walls
to protect myself

so do not tell me
that i am cold

i told you
because
i wanted you
to stop me.

maybe
it is time
to
cut you
off,
even if
it means
cutting off
a piece
of myself

I feel so close yet so far away,
And I can't help but wonder how we got stuck here in this game,
If only my eyes could see what's troubling me,
then you'd believe me when I say..

That I'll protect you in your darkest hour, stay with me and I'll guide you day by day,
and I'll be the one there when the world turns sour, only if you believe me when I say that "it's okay"

You bring the light so I can bring the dark,
collide as one so we will never be apart,
and yet we're still on opposite sides of the same problem
Because you won't believe me when I say..

I'll protect you in your darkest hour, stay with me and I'll guide you day by day,
and I'll be the one there when the world turns sour, only if you'd believe me when I say..

"it's okay"
