Someone Like Me 10-08-19

I poured my heart out to you,
Just like the sky,
Crying and sobbing,
Yet all you can do is turn around..
And leave me in the shadows,
Again.

The dark corner has become my church,
My safety...
My shelter.
Cutting myself open,
I tore out my heart,
To give to you.

Instead of accepting my gift,
You looked down in horror as it kept beating.
But,
It was beating for you alone.
Yet,
You didn't want it...
You were disgusted with my offering.
How could you be so picky?

I'm sorry that it was torn.
I'm sorry it was bleeding.
I'd give you a fresh and clean one....
But mine is bloody,
Mine shredded,
My heart is...
Ugly.
I'm sorry,
I can't offer you the kind of heart you want...

But,
I'd do anything for you.
I'd throw myself off the cliff of sanity If you told me to.
I'd murder myself and become a psychopath.
I'd become a monster,
Only you could control and tame...
But you don't want that.
You don't want me as a burden upon your heart and mind,
Because...
How could someone like you love something like me?
