We Can't Leave

What are you so scared of?

My eyes burn from the cold but yet,
you've been kept warm,
so what have you to fear?

Aren't you the one that broke my soul?

My hands are numb
from your ice cold blood
that you washed me in.

You said "This will heal you.",
spit the words "I won't leave you.".

But I have more scars than ever,
they hide deep in my skin.

You couldn't help but display yours,
told me
"You'll be fine, don't worry I have more."

I never feared your love
until you told me I should.

And soon my passion
faded into a distraught
need for you to stay.

I swallowed myself
in order to be your necessity.

And the more I said I don't need you
the more you begged me to stay.

The pain was worth your rain.

But your words pressed into me
and I couldn't detach myself from them.

I'd say I want to be the me
I was before I felt your love
but it'd be a lie.

Because we both know,
we are no good at goodbyes.
