we're only protecting ourselves from ourselves.
how is it that you have the power to tear me down?
why can't you just be happy?
you speed my heart up, and simultaneously destroy my world.
you build me up, so you can crush me later.
you need me
defenseless.
dependent.
alone.
for your personal satisfaction.
i don't need attention.
i crave it.
i yearn for it.
from no one but you.
you're a drug i can't put down-
what's worse :
you know it.
you're going to be the death of me.
i'm not afraid.
you're ashamed of me
and who can really blame you.
you know when to draw back and stop.
i'm coming down.
you're not here, you never were.
we're not romeo and juliet-
we're heroin and cocaine.
when we get together, a heart is bound to stop.
i'm too far in to back out.
go on just say it-
you won't be able to shake me.
you ask me "why can't you just be happy?"
go look in a fucking mirror you'll find your answer.
