Its hard care for you
when you belong to another.
How many times can i point out
the inconsistencies in the lies that
bind you here and recall
like a boomerang?
How long will you color the wound
that he paints you with frequently?
How many bottles can you dominate
until your pain gets drowned away?
That little machine in your chest
can only takes so much stress
until it malfunctions.
Here I wait up all night for you
for the nightmares to be through.
So guarded for countless hours,
but no one can see your tears in the showers.
Anger spills over at everyone
as you try to keep me at arms length
every time we embrace
at the baggage claim.
Be it as it may
I'm not sure if I still love you,
but ****** I'm trying.
