You’re everything
they warned me about

Beautiful but painful
handsome but destructive
you’re slowly destroying me
because you can’t see
what you do to me

I am bleeding
everywhere
all the scars
they all lead back to you

I am trying to heal
but you keep ripping me open
every time
you leave

I am reaching for your heart
but it is wrapped in barbed wire
and it hurts so much
loving you

can’t you see
I will always put you first
and that is why
I am afraid
you’ll be the death of me.
