n0t a waste 0f space.

Contaminate

Coming to you was the hardest thing

Trying to keep myself from breaking

But I knew it was what I needed to do

So I gave a piece of me to you.

You held close and dried my tears

And I thought things might change this year

But then I looked into your eyes

And I saw guilt behind the disguise.

Now I know you might try to blame yourself

For what has happened to me.

I know it's easy to get down

When you see others drowning.

But do not let my own pain

Hurt your precious heart

Because in the end, it helps no one

to have us both in the dark. 

Keep your mind pure of my monsters

And stay away from me.

I knew I shouldn't have bothered you

Because I am like a disease.

I will not contaminate my beautiful souls

So I'll suffer in the dark.

It's not myself I'm protecting

But it's all your lively hearts.
