Take my hand but
Don't hold on
Let me hug you
But push me away
As
Dangerous as
an Intoxicating Drug
Smoldering in your soul
As your emotions
burn into stone
Etching a permanant
scar into your sleeve
As you wear your
heartache on your sleeve
With a burn hole and a scar
that empty spot that once was full
Will be replaced with nothing
Because I'm saving you from myself
I cannot comfort your pain
Because I am what the hurt consists of
I am the root of your heart's torture
You may not see it
But it is as clear as day
that I must save you from myself
so that you might heal
So that you might live
to find yourself anew,
Create a better life
loving someone else
For I am a poision that will
Rot you with sweetness
**** you with care
Martyring myself for
your relief
And the only way to detach your
dependence on me
is for me
to
disappear
