Necropolis

Stop

Stop telling me I'm perfect

When I'm anything but that

You're only setting yourself up for disappointment

And making me feel guilty

How do you love me?

Why do you love me?

How do you let me keep hurting you?

I don't want to hurt you

I don't even deserve you

We wanted this to last forever

But now I worry we must stop this before I destroy us both

I stop in the driveway, sit just to cry

My seatbelt still on to give me some semblance of an embrace

As the neighbors blow off fireworks

That won't stop

Ha! What a sick joke

Damned if I do, damned if I don't

Damming up the tears to make them stop

I don't really want this love to stop before it really starts

But I'm scared I'll pulverize our hearts

In truth I fear the end

I just need to make these thoughts stop
