I'm saving you from myself
by Idontreallyknowwhatimdoing
_I'm sorry_
because I can't control my broken mind.
Please, forgive me
because I don't know what to do with my toxic feelings.
_You need to understand,_
that my mind is dark and I have trust issues,
that some days it's impossible for me to care about the people I love.
_I don't want you to leave me,_
because even though I can act like I don't need you
you are the one that's keeping my boat afloat.
_But I'm not the type of person you need in your life;_
You need someone willing to dry your tears
and I'm one of the reasons why you cry at night.
You need a lighthouse to show you the way back to sanity,
and I'm a storm that causes you anxiety.
_And because I love you_
deep enough to realize how toxic I am to you,
so much that it hurts to see you hurting because of my words,
_I'll have to say goodbye._
Because I care about you,
and if you stay with me
I'll end up breaking you.
