You are the only thing keeping me alive.
Holding my head up above water like a daddy and his baby,
but holding me down to stay on Earth.
Holding me close to protect me from the harmful world,
but letting me explore the beauties of the dark hearts.
You love me for me like no one else.
You understand the pain and torture I put myself through.
You see my true self behind my empty eyes
and show me a love I never knew existed.
You love me with no exception; cracks, pink scars, dark heart and all.
You see my fake smile and hear my fake laugh,
holding the weight of a thousand worlds in only the small palms of my hands to please everyone,
to show them the Carny that I am.
But you don't care about everyone else, only your and my dark heart.
