"Tear my skin apart,
Try and get a glimpse of my broken heart;
It beats for you still.

Look into my eyes;
Can you see my toxic thoughts, how tired I am?
How can you not;
My eyes are open windows;
Peek inside my soul.

I'm like mixed colours, like two mixed flavours.
I'm bold at times, uttering lies.
And the other times, I'm sweet; polite.

I'm too much, and yet for you, never enough.
I'm the wildest, but simple;
Free, yet bound.

I can speak without making a single sound.

With you, I'm far too brittle.
I tend to bend far too much;
Fearing I'll break apart.

But you, you aren't gentle.
You're ruthless, you've got a cold heart.
Makes me wonder at times;
Why I stay.

Take my hand;
Can you feel it shake?
I'm a trembling mess.

Embrace me, and I still hold back, harder, tighter.
But then you let go. You shake my soul;
Leaving me breathless with heartache;
Dizzy with headaches;
We speak far too loud at certain times;
Is this how people fight?

You feed me pretty lies;
At times, they tatse good.
But then you starve me.

Look at me; what do you see?
I'm so much, but all wrong;
Set me right; leave tonight."
