listen,
i don't mean to come off
cold
i don't mean to seem bitter or
scared of affection
but i guess i am
that's just what happens to
a girl who loves so fiercely
that each and every loss
is like a blow to the chest
loving so hard that it hurts
is a gift
i experience highs that don't
accompany loving in the
traditional way
but
loving so hard that it hurts
is awful
when the one i have given
my all to leaves,
i crumble
i don't expect you to
understand what i mean
but this is my way of telling you
this is my way of telling you
that me not always saying
"i love you"
is not your personal failure
it's on me
i'll take the blame
i will admit that i'm the
one who is slowly losing
the ability to give my all
to someone without
living in fear that they too,
will leave
i hope you understand
