if it's not me then don't take me.
i have grown into a person,
unreliable, unhealthy, and selfless
throwing knives through each breath
but underneath the ***** skin i am in,
if it's not me, then don't take me.
my fingerprints are all over the news
one said i killed you, one said you killed me
there was no other way, but to wait
into the darkness
we both created.
i have confessed
with every count of blood cells inside my veins
there was no turning back
until you did
and you brought me -
i woke up, naked, in the middle of the night
in the middle of a deserted road,
it was empty, no cars, no grass, no walls, no us
just me, just you. i waited for you to say it
but you made me wait -
you said the words i needed to hear
you uttered every syllable the way i imagined
and right now,
how i wish i didn't, because
if you're not going to take me, then don't take me.
if its not me, don't play with me.
don't tell me you will, and then stop
like how would you feel
if this
will e-
nd right here?
if you're not going to take me wholly, then don't.
if its not me, then don't take me.
