I strive to suffer in silence Determined to hide pain This charade is exhausting Driving me insane I do not want you to know how much I care I long to hold you close I keep a safe proximity Acting as if you were a ghost You swear you want to see me You only want to come home If that were true you would be here Was your choice to roam I bite back words I wish I could say You are the reason why I breathe If I was honest about my feelings Weakness would be clear to see It was clinginess that initially drove you away Now that your interest has returned Must be cautious not to seem too eager Or else heart again will be burned I do not know why your lies taste sweet None of them are real Guess I'm too in love to control my desire Or change attraction I feel Over and over you destroy emotions As if relationship is a game Hate myself for tolerating damage Unconditional love staying the same I have to draw line somewhere How much manipulation do you expect me to take? If you loved me like promising you do Instead of harm you would try to heal my ache

A Line Has Been Drawn
I strive to suffer in silence Determined to hide pain This charade is exhausting Driving me insane I do not want you to know how much I care I long to hold you close I keep a safe proximity Acting as if you were a ghost You swear you want to see me You only want to come home If that were true you would be here Was your choice to roam I bite back words I wish I could say You are the reason why I breathe If I was honest about my feelings Weakness would be clear to see It was clinginess that initially drove you away Now that your interest has returned Must be cautious not to seem too eager Or else heart again will be burned I do not know why your lies taste sweet None of them are real Guess I'm too in love to control my desire Or change attraction I feel Over and over you destroy emotions As if relationship is a game Hate myself for tolerating damage Unconditional love staying the same I have to draw line somewhere How much manipulation do you expect me to take? If you loved me like promising you do Instead of harm you would try to heal my ache
