You made me fear myself You made me do things I would have never wanted to do I told everyone so I could get a bit of relief from them think I was so cool But it only made me want to cry for myself even more I didn't know how bad this was till the cops showed up at my door with your name lingering on their tongues Tainting the room with the essences of my fear mixed with my infatuation It made a bittersweet fog for me to fumble through, a bittersweet unknowing fog I didn't know how bad this was till they made me take my shirt and pants off to show them bruises in the shape of you When they took off my ribbons stained with an ink held in vein Showing your name, more permanent than a tattoo The scars still haunt me, making me flinch every time I change I didn't realize what this fear could do to me Slowly letting the cops drag bits and pieces of you from me The pieces that I held close to my heart The pieces that had left tears and wounds on me Not quite able to see what you, my fear of you had done I was barely able to see how big of a mistake I made for you I did all of this out of my fear of you My fear making me think I loved you Fear did this to me Oh fear, it drives me It drove me to this My fear of you It drove me to this You drove me to this Or maybe I feared not you, but no you Oh the fear I have of you, Its so terrifying terrifying myself that at my youngest of thirty, or at my oldest forty five You'll come and get me Get me and not let me go I smell you surrounding me The first three months it comforted me Now it sends me into a panic I can feel you slowly pulling away my innocence So slow and thrilling at first Harsh and cruel as it goes Slowly realizing there is no more to pull away No more innocence Only raw ***** skin ***** skin, so fragile, it could tear away any moment The pain you give me Now received by your claws ripping down drawing blood I've never spoken of Your teeth leaving scars only seen by me Time like that left untold, they built a dam of stories It has leaks and holes, threatening to break open It has me threatening to tell about the three days in November when you did more to me than I ever wanted You ignored my whimpers and pleads of no You pushed me, Making me yours Making me your two cent ***** I still fear waking in your house wanting to leave but my fear keeping me rooted to the spot Your touch making me a puppet for your use A rag doll for your pleasure Fear is such a simple word but the way it drives us is a complicated ******* A ******* that won't let us out of this metaphorical car How was my fear able to shape me into this whimpering being afraid of the dark Afraid of my monster Afraid of my monster that made me a woman before I was even ready to be a girl I have an immense fear of you Fear that I will never be able to shake you That you will always be around that corner ready to get me My fear drives my more recklessly than an alcoholic at happy hour It drives me to think that I was the one who did wrong It drives me to dark places Places where my fear pushes Pushes me to my inevitable demise My demise sending me down to hell Sending me to have an eternity with you taunting me You have shaped me into something no one should ever have to be I throw myself into trying to forget you only to receive more shame The shame of waking up tangled in sheets not able to find my shoes You created me I am afraid of a two headed monster This monster is you and the me you created I fear you I fear no you I fear having you There is no balance to my insanity for you The insanity you inspired I am being driven by a simple emotion, turned oh so complicated I am being driven and I canβt get out of this metaphorical car I canβt get you out of my head
