this feeling inside of me
this hatred, this jealousy, this worthlessness
leave it me
leave me be

i want no other feelings
no love, no hope, no faith
just because of a single fear
that my emotions would intertwine

maybe one day those feelings
can come out of the hiding spot
that I stashed them away in
to protect them

but until then
let me cradle those negative emotions close
so at least i can feel
something
