When the heart betrays

I'd Like You To Stay Quiet

I'd like you to stay quiet
You may come in and explore
But don't make a sound
Because anything that's not silence
Scares me
I know it's pathetic
But I'm scared of them
Those pretty demons
That I make company with
Because if they hear you
They'll wake up
And start to tell me horrible things
About you
And how you'll leave me soon
How you'll never love me
Or more like never did
They'll make me rip open old scars
And watch as I bleed
Then they'll scream
Until I hate myself again 
I know you'll want to help
Or you'll tell me to fight back
But I could never do it
Hurt my pretty demons
And for some reason
I can't stand to see others hurt them
So I'd like you to stay quiet
And not fight with them
Lord knows I'm too tired anyway
