Because of you Contact makes my skin crawl His feelings made me flinch His love felt like a threat My stomach touches my back Whenever I think about eating I shed the person I was And scratch in unfamiliar skin The abuse became routine And I couldn’t detect it And worse of all That i can’t blame it all on you But on my own complacency and comfort in the destruction of me It’s true I hate you But I hate me more for letting you destroy me

I hate you
Because of you Contact makes my skin crawl His feelings made me flinch His love felt like a threat My stomach touches my back Whenever I think about eating I shed the person I was And scratch in unfamiliar skin The abuse became routine And I couldn’t detect it And worse of all That i can’t blame it all on you But on my own complacency and comfort in the destruction of me It’s true I hate you But I hate me more for letting you destroy me
