I know I was toxic
I broke you
Until there was nothing but a shell of you
I was too late to fix it
To tell you how I feel
To show you my love for you
Fear attaching itself to my voice box
Pushing you away when you got too close
Begging for you when you start to leave
Giving you whiplash
Maybe one day I can show you what you mean to me
I can show you I'm not scared anymore
Not of love
Not of commitment
It took me too long
To rip the terror from my chest and expose my bleeding heart
Proving it only beats for you
But I can't reach you
You've drifted too far
Damn it!
I always get in my own way
But
Maybe someday
