I've been wondering lately what my limit is.
How far I can tread into my own mind before driving myself mad.
How deeply I can allow myself to trust someone.
How much I can hold inside before I just snap.
How long I can hold off the beast from hurting anyone other than me.
Sure, I can spit daggers.
But the beast can spit acid.
The cuts I leave heal.
But that monster boils holes.
Not just in the heart, but the trust as well.
I don't want that.
So how strong can I build the walls?
How much will I have to torture the beast?
How much will it take to tame it?
And how much will it take for you to no longer stay..?
