Recovery

Please - brokensouls.xx IG

Please don't look at me like that; I'm trying so hard to breathe. I knew that my lungs were clogged with you the moment you first smiled at me and told me your name. I wish I had paid attention to the warning signs plastered all around my brain, but my heart's curiosity got the best of me. 

Please don't touch me, don't touch me like your hands aren't made of fire. I love the burns, but I shouldn't. Please don't touch me. I knew that you were out of reach when I realized that your soul full of light could never walk over to darkness. You always bring light into my life anyway, but you shouldn't. And oh, how naive of me to think that one day you could give me enough. 

Please don't say my name; hearing your voice alone is hard, but the way it wraps around my name sends me down an everlasting spiral of you, when I really shouldn't let it. I knew that my heart was completely wrapped around your finger when I noticed the melody of your voice on repeat in my head. To only hope that mine plays in your head too is a wish I can't handle, so I stay quiet. 

And please don't stand so close to me; the smell of you has me dozing off into your universe - a universe I shouldn't belong in. I tried to push you away, hoping that maybe it could eventually rid me of these feelings. But I knew that I couldn't run from you when all it did was make me miss you too much. I wanted to run when really, I just want to love and be loved in return. But I know that isn't in our fate, it isn't in our future. So please don't stand so close to me. Please don't make it any harder for me. Please let me run
