and if i asked you stay,
would you?
would you pick my broken pieces
over her completed puzzle?
would you dive into my soul
to seek for my love
when hers is out in the open,
ready for you to reach?
you'd leave me in the dust darling
as you speed out of view,
i dread to let you linger close,
with her next to you.
i refuse to be the door you shut
as you walk to another,
for i'm never one to let them treat me
like an option without a bother.
my heart may bleed
in crimson & hues
but i believe it's worth more than those
cheap tricks and dirty blues.
for i've been loved by knights & warriors,
ones who fought valiantly;
& taught me to love myself.
now my soul finds no way,
to let their efforts be in vain
my fingers bound together,
now hide behind my back
so either hold me tight
or let me slip right by.
