Wear me pinned to your lapel
like a badge
to show off to your friends
claiming my victories as your own.
Vicious cycle
never ends.
Use me as your punching bag
for all life's worry and strife
I'll stand 'fast in your stead
take the punches you throw without flinching.
Too scared to
tell you no.
I'm slowly drowning
in the wake of your love
its washing over my mouth, my nose
Suffocating.
Don't wanna hurt you
cannot desert you.
Stuck in your ways
forever and a day
with you
wouldn't make it out alive.
Loving you
hating you.
Tell me you love me
and I will reply
but don't expect my heart
to be in it
when I know that yours
is not.
