Caretaker

I won’t keep apologizing for the way I feel just to make you feel better I hate that I’m hurting you but I’m hurting too Are you going to acknowledge that? Are you going to apologize to me? Are you going to tend my wounds even though you yourself may be bleeding out? Am I to just always be the caretaker giving every piece of me until there’s nothing left? I can’t speak my mind because it hurts you and makes me feel like the bad guy I have to tiptoe over your emotions Scared that if I make one misstep It’ll shatter you I know you’ve got your demons but I’ve got mine to I’m exhausted from trying to fend off yours while mine are slowly winning What can I do when Loving you is killing me But a life without you is worse than death
