You rip out my heart,
Then somehow expect me to put it back.
I try on my own,
But it's all in vain.
I struggle with the emptiness you fill me with,
And with the knowledge that you no longer care,
I retreat into my own mind.I want to escape,
I want to be free from these claws you have wrapped around me,but i'm afraid
I'm afraid that no one will accept me as you once did,
I'm afraid that if I leave you,
I'll be leaving behind a chance for things to get better.
You tell me you hate what I do more often than you love,
You don't appreciate what I'm willing to give,
You don't appreciate me.I see you standing there,
You apologize,
And each time I forgive,
But each time your words heal me a little less.You have your talons sunk in deep,
And I wonder if you'll be able to let go.
You drain the life from me with your false promises
And hateful eyes,
And I give you empty smiles
And a broken soul.Though you rip me to shreds with every hurtful word you say,
I will stay,because i am afraid.
