Barely breathing

Save Myself

I hurt myself trying to be the one for you.

I broke my rib cage to get to my lungs
hoping to get the air you kept taking.

I tore my heart to shreds over all our arguments and drove a knife within when I left.

I was so caught up in you, but I finally am looking at the whole picture.

I ruined my knees from kneeling on the ground begging you to give me a chance that I never deserved.

I wasn't enough at the end of the day. I wasn't mature enough and didn't understand love.

I scratched my body and starved hoping if I was handsome enough you'd think I was worth something.

Now I've realized how stupid I was.

I screwed my body up and now everything's a mess and I'm hating the fates with everything I can because I couldn't see I was already okay
