how am I supposed to feel
when I have to walk on eggshells around you
the tips of my toes hurt
because I've stood on them for too damn long
and you broke me
yet I need you
and you can't see what you've done
yet I can see how much you're hurting
and you took something away from me
you don't feel any remorse
but at the end of the night
I long for your lips on mine
and you're breath on my skin
and your hands to explore
because your voice is what gets me thru the night
and I cant fix this when I'm mad
but you cant fix it when you're sad
after every betrayal,
whether physical or verbal
I long to see you in my dreams
and I'm not enough to keep you sane
and I want to hide the shattered pieces of you that I picked up
if you're vulnerable you might need me
but I want you strong
I want to be your choice
and sometimes scars remind me of what you did
but it's not like I didn't leave scars too
