"if you leave now, i can't let you come back" and more lies i tell myself • like, who am i trying to convince here? am i really that weak? maybe it isn't the weakness that keeps me stuck on you, more like the hold our souls have on the other • my heart falls, tugs and breaks with every word you say, but i cannot back off and let you go away • i know that i need you • your touch, your scent, those eyes • i just can't look away • it gets cold sometimes and i still never stop begging for you to stay • you can break me down to someone else, take who i am away from me • i'll keep coming back to you and cower every time you speak • i want to mean it this time when i ask you to leave • i want to feel nothing again and forget the day we met like it meant nothing • your anger and silence breaks me apart, piece by peace.. i just want you to see the damaged you've caused from promises you never intended to keep • (next time check your motives) • you'll regret this one day, maybe not right now • you hate me, bet you'll never say that to my face • you still never find someone who will love you as much as i love • and you will never feel a peace in your soul where i will no longer be • you can fill a void but you'll never quite get back your light • meanwhile, i'll be shining for someone who truly deserves it • someone who has no intent to dull it • good luck fighting those demons without me there to shield you • i promised and meant everything about how i'd fight for you more - no one else is strong enough, not even you.
