Untitled

Why must you hurt me so much

Why must you break me down

Why must you take every ounce of my strength

Why must you hurt me so?

You bleed me dry

You exhaust all my reserves

Not a tear drop to spare

Not a piece of my heart that's unbroken

These words cut through me

Even the ones physically conveyed, unspoken

You shatter my soul

Every fiber of my being

Begging for mercy

Why must I be unworthy?

Will this ever let up

Will this ever end

So many words I want to say, just can't push send.

Help me understand, let me into your world

Tell me why I can't be your perfect and ideal girl
