and i could carry all of our damage.
if thats how life worked
But its not
so I don't.
I can't lift the damage off of you
like some vacuum from another dimension
I can't cleanse your brain
I can barely refrain
from screaming at you.

But i still live with
and I still carry
twice the damage
internals vary.
See i still feel every one
of your failures
and I may not be able to take it from you
But you still magnify my failures
and I still quantify your failures.
and they are all my failures.

I wanted to protect you.
But life doesn't give us those opportunities.
