Cauterizing wounds is not the same as fixing them
But when the fire burns away and all that's left is hot ashes the safest bet is to hold it until it doesn't hurt anymore
It's still pain
But pain by anything you call love
It's a facade that I'll hold till my hands become numb
The pain always returns but by now it's too late
I'd like to state my name and tell the room that I'm an addict
But everyone has there stories and you don't want to relate because it proves that your emotions are fake
Throughout sickness I held you till you could walk on your own
But that won't ever mean I should be assuming you'll give me even more back
But I'm starving for an escape
Darling please help me change
I'll be anything you want just feed me lies
Let's make amends and I'll hold your hands so you can't cross your fingers
How can you not be happy
I'll still ask you if your happy
When all is said and done the space i let you occupy still ended up empty
Just a couple nails from where we hung paintings
I tried looking into your eyes to find acceptance but all I found was acceptance of the fact that you can't fix anything when your broken
Somethings just can't be narrated into word play
Some parts of life are just to hard to hold
Some pieces just don't fit together
Doesn't mean I won't try to cut myself into a shape that fits with you
Doesn't mean that when all is said and done you won't still be alone
But I hope I am when you call
And with the knowledge that you'll never read this
I still hope you do
Because I love you
I love everything about you
Especially the parts that made you leave
