*******.
If you had loved me you wouldn't have given up on me. Nothing has changed.
I'm still the one diving head first into treacherous waters and you are too afraid to dip your toes in.
You are incapable of loving because you are too scared to get hurt.
You look into my eyes and see roaring flames that you feel will eat you alive but baby you should know that's just the burning embers of a strike of a match.
I used to be stronger than this. I really did.
But I've spent so much time getting swords twisted into my spine fighting for you that it has made me weak.
When will you stop being so afraid to love me?
I loved danger too much and when I found out you were toxic for me, I wanted nothing more than for you to be the cause of my beating heart to collapse.
I knew just what I was getting into when I first met you.
But I loved too much and you didn't love at all and now I'm laying with my face upon cold cement and you are standing, watching over my fragile body and I'm not quite sure who won this battle.
I let you destroy me, but you destroyed the soul of someone who loved you deeply.
