I'll go

Maybe at some point you'll think of how i could have loved you

And maybe you won't because you'll still be trapped by your defenses 

I could have brushed the hair out of your face when you're looking down at me

I could've tucked my head under your chin and cuddled you so tightly

You could've held my hand and kissed it with gentleness

But here we are 

I'm on a limb and you're hiding in bushes

Your fear is casting shadows and my anger radiates 

I wish I could hate you

And curse your name

But that's not me & this is not a game

When I fell, god knows I fell hard

But the cracks in the ground left you scarred

Tank top in my closet that I refuse to wash

It smells like your aftershave and I like that a lot

I know it isn't personal

And you're waging a war

But if you could see I'm on your side

Then this war would be no more

I can't help you because you won't help yourself

You're the most frightened creature I have ever met

It feels like you hate me but I remind myself it isn't me at all

You've closed off so many parts of yourself and built a steel wall

You can't even look me in the eye

And fear is your cloak

So since you repel my love

I guess I'll go
