loved in the dark
light burns away the shadow
that allows us to be

we just weren't
made to last in a place
everyone could see

you're too ashamed
to be seen in public
with me

god forbid
they think you chose me
willingly
end of disccussion
is this what you wanted
i tell you how it felt
but you swear that it wasn't
the way that i said
or how you remember
falling out of love
in the heart of december
and when push came to shove
you wouldn't care enough
to reach out for me
when i turned away from your touch
i never wanted space
i just wanted you to care
when i walked away
i hoped you'd try to find out where
but you were never gonna look
you were finally free
i cut the chains
and you unwound yourself from me
i knew you were lying when you tried to tell me
i wasn't hard to love or a burden to bear
who did you think you were fooling
what feelings did you really spare
hurt him to feel something
but he doesn't care
so how can he be hurt

hurt myself to feel something
but i still feel empty
it doesn't work

inflict pain just to feel something
but when i bleed
it doesn't even feel real

just want to feel something
but i just don't know
how to describe how i feel
felt this way for so long
i should know better than
to start letting it get to me now
but i'm stupid
i cry when i feel useless
which is all the time
offered help but refuse it
because who really wants to save me
they save their pride
they want to save face
not save my life
i'm tired of living
to fulfill others dreams
i just miss how simple
things used to be
but i'm already sunk now
not much to do about it
but remember what it was like
before i died
unsure walking up
don't know what to do with your hands
uncomfortable in yourself
carefully cast a glance
terrified to be seen
wish i could calm your mind
you don't have to change
the way you are is fine
in fact its beautiful
i'm in awe by the things you do
silenced and shaken
by the words you choose
you're scared to be unbearable
yet i've never wanted you gone
worrying yourself to death
i love how you're so wrong
but what if you get tired
of all the questions i ask
bored with me
because i fall asleep too fast
what if you don't want me anymore
what then am i to do
what if you stop wanting me
the way i want you

you're honest with your fears
and i hear you out
but i need to you remember
what i say right now
i never want to stop thinking of you
if i could i would
you're terrified of being horrible
but i see all the good
that is in you
and i'm sorry you worried for so long
can't help but laugh a little
you could not have been more wrong
armor rusted through
but i trusted you
to not stab me when i was weak

but you went for blood
just my luck
laughing as i bleed
