WHAT I WOULD SAY
If i get asked why i act the way i act i'll act dumb If i get asked on a deeper level, i'll say everyone I've loved before didn't want to be loved the way i love i'll remind you of all the times i was left open and forced to mend myself with a broken needle bleeding as every stitch didn't feel fitting I've learnt to find the needle in the dark it's not something I'll boast about i've taught myself to dig through the haystack piece by piece without breaking a sweat that's not an award ought winning I would bleed myself open trying to explain how your every action hurts me. But I'm not being asked the reasons for my actions I've been blamed for caring Cursed for feel And sold for loving If you ask me on a deeper level I'll sing the praises of how you could break a heart so fragile and yet feel no remorse But since I'm not I'll just say you're lovely, a rare peice kept on the highest shelf Lovelying breaking me Turning me in and out poking at my nerves till you find your favorite artery But since I'm not being asked I'll keep my mouth sealed i'll carry my burden because with you a shared burden doesn't lessen the weight i carry within
