I will let you slowly ruin me until there's nothing left but a pile of dust that faintly smells like me You won't recognize me in the streets because I will become something so broken that I blend in with the sidewalks I suppose you will lock me up like the good liquor and take me out when you please and I will be grateful when you reach for another cup of me because you will have craved my taste You are not a fair fight You can hurt me without even being arms length away I never looked good in black and blue but it seems those are my hearts new favorite colors I was taught to fight at a young age Taught to always keep myself protected but when you come around I forget everything about the past everything that I have suffered to learn Like run before you hide and do not drink your feelings and never give someone all of you- they will always leave you unrecognizable
