Because of you
I am afraid
to unleash the torrent
of emotions
that will leak
into your pores
which will scar
your precious body
like whip marks
that will lash
with all the words
I’ve said
Because of you
I am more comfortable
cozening up
to the demons
in my head
Because of you
I will never lay down
to die
Because of you
I continue on
******* in your sweet breath
and coexisting
on your sigh
Because of you
I should have been
dead
Because of you
I have no strength
Because of you
I’ve learnt to live
with love
and found endurance
to break the mold
and to escape hate
when all the while
I was stronger because
I stayed
Because of you*
I am afraid
I am afraid
to unleash the torrent
of emotions
that will leak
into your pores
which will scar
your precious body
like whip marks
that will lash
with all the words
I’ve said
Because of you
I am more comfortable
cozening up
to the demons
in my head
Because of you
I will never lay down
to die
Because of you
I continue on
******* in your sweet breath
and coexisting
on your sigh
Because of you
I should have been
dead
Because of you
I have no strength
Because of you
I’ve learnt to live
with love
and found endurance
to break the mold
and to escape hate
when all the while
I was stronger because
I stayed
Because of you*
I am afraid
