You're not easy to love, and I've known from the start,
You build up your walls, protecting your heart.
You hide behind layers of silence and pride,
A storm I keep chasing with nowhere to hide.
I reach out my hand, but you pull it away,
A dance in the shadows, we sway and we stray.
You’re tangled in memories, afraid to let go,
Yet there's warmth in your eyes when you let it show.
Every word is a battle, each smile a truce,
But the scars run so deep, and your words feel like noose.
I’ve tried to be patient, I've tried to be kind,
But loving you feels like I'm losing my mind.
There’s beauty in chaos, or so I believed,
In the mess that you are, in the pain I’ve received.
I wanted to save you, to make you feel whole,
But your broken pieces don't fit with my soul.
You're not easy to love, but still, here I stand,
Holding the fragments you place in my hand.
And maybe one day you'll see what I see,
That you're worth the struggle, at least to me.
