the only way you can hate, is to love hate is love betrayal is trust we were one the words, like fire in my mouth left scars to keep you, i had to lose myself but was i holding onto you like a child that grips their teddy bear to save them from the never ending darkness or were you holding onto me like a child clenching a bag with a fish wondering what will happen if you shake it and just like that child's foolish hope of the teddy bear protecting them it's all just pretend an illusion that we wrap around our hearts to shield from feeling your words have become cobwebs of lies stuck to the walls of my mind hands that hold my head below the surface of the lake the lake made by the darkest parts of my mind the soft and gentle hands that once held mine are now calloused and cold they no longer create instead they destroy it was never supposed to be like this i squeeze the teddy bear you shake the bag the lake fills my lungs i'm going to drown my fault your fault we were both too heartless my apology that i gift to you is made from the tears i've shed these past few years my love is this gift that i hope you accept
