How Can I Stay?
You say things that hurt me.
I just bite my lip.
Hold back my tears.
I won't let this flip.
Whenever I reply,
you make it about you.
So I'll keep my mouth shut.
I'll let you do what you do.
Because you do it best.
You liar you.
I still care for you though.
So could you think this through?
I am not the enemy.
Or maybe I am?
How could I not be?
I mean ****.
I'm messed up in the head.
Sorry if I curse.
But I've ****** up.
Yet you act like you're worse.
Don't you see you're amazing?
I'm just cold.
I want you to be happy.
So I fall into the mold.
The one you have built for me.
It's how you want me to be.
So I'll stay by your side silent.
While you get to talk free.
Deep breaths.
Restless turns.
I hate this world.
My heart, it burns.
Forget what I've said.
I want to go.
But I love you too much.
I've fallen too low.
I'll stay behind.
Let you have your fun.
You run and hide.
I watch the sun.
The brightness burns you.
It helps me.
So goodbye.
I want to be free.
