I want to bring you flowers 
I want to see your face light up before you grab them 
And just as the light reaches peak brightness 
I want to snatch them away dulling any glow you dispersed 
I want you to feel rejected 
I want you to be called desperate 
So you can understand the dripping mascara 
And the tear stained sheets 
As more than just a pathetic outcry 
And more like a clanging crashing cymbal of my heart fragmenting back to the pieces I'm barely holding together most days 
I want you to have to explain why your face is drenched in sadness 
Why you silence all emotion in the presence of others 

Except that I don't really... 
I don't want you to ache with every passing breathe 
I don't want you to drown in your own puddle of tears because there are no umbrellas for your depression
I just want you to know that when you say something it matters 
Your insults get tattooed in my brain 
Killing me with the awful refrain 
A dreadful composition of pain that no one else can hear 
I want you to care that you're strangling me in the atmosphere...
