Forced a home out of you.

This is me In the darken room, in a void hiding from your hands Don’t touch me Stop saving me Let my blood flow Let these wounds rip I’m okay I will be okay. I’m putting my foot down. I’ll cut this hair so you’ll stop climbing this tower, I’ll cover my face for I don’t want to be awake to a true love kiss, I will let the spindle of the spinning wheel prick me and surrender to the curse I’m packing these baggage The one that’s marked trust issues, The one with dreams written all over it I’m bringing it back home Back home to this ribcage So please. Let the darkness of this place shine Allow this sorrow in its heaven My demons can take it from here For I am sorry for the way your arms are covered in bruises Your body became a map of the places you rescued me from Your eyes dry from trying to stay awake on the nights my demon demand to be accompanied That you become selfless just because I was selfish So darling Let the bulb stay burned Leave me in my new home And let your bruises heal This is my fighting ring The one I’ve made you bleed for all these years I will face this nightmare I will let it conquer me I will fall and fight And Ill keep fighting And I will save you from saving me.
