More Than Before

his words make my cuts burn seeping into me letter by letter sharp edges opening cuts I'd forgotten they fill me with fear as each word sinks in struggling to keep us together with these words in my veins and none of the words I need trust, respect, love, caring it's so hard to be against them together when I don't know where he stands I need to know why I'm fighting and if he even wants me to he still wants her he thinks he needs her when she left him to die and I'm here trying to keep him alive still... he wants her I can never be her who would break him again I want to be something better for him and I want the respect that he says I deserve I want him to be something better for me
