I wish you knew the damage you've done But you are so ignorant Bliss I only wanted to give you At my expense Often I cared for you more than myself Always I felt guilty If only I could explode like you Is it cathartic? What purpose does it serve? You only hurt yourself And me And the wall And the chair But instead I keep mine I let it flow Down my face but far from yours Never explaining to you The damage you were doing You filled a piece of me that was missing for far too long A piece that was none of your business to touch But I grazed your fingers over it And pressed your lips into it Momentary peace I traded For my self respect For my freedom For my everything I sank deeper It wasn't your fault How could you have known You truly wanted the best I think For us But we both knew It wasn't each other

**** You
I wish you knew the damage you've done But you are so ignorant Bliss I only wanted to give you At my expense Often I cared for you more than myself Always I felt guilty If only I could explode like you Is it cathartic? What purpose does it serve? You only hurt yourself And me And the wall And the chair But instead I keep mine I let it flow Down my face but far from yours Never explaining to you The damage you were doing You filled a piece of me that was missing for far too long A piece that was none of your business to touch But I grazed your fingers over it And pressed your lips into it Momentary peace I traded For my self respect For my freedom For my everything I sank deeper It wasn't your fault How could you have known You truly wanted the best I think For us But we both knew It wasn't each other
