I Am Rotting At Your Door

I am rotting at your door
It's nothing you haven't seen before
I wish I could stand up and leave
It's a tapestry of tragedy I weave

I bring this unto myself
Put my emotions on a shelf
In a jar, they're there to rot
This all-consuming story plot

There is nothing I can do
I'm projected onto you
But if I try to end this scene
I'm afraid we won't reconvene

So I love you impossibly
And I'm stuck in frivolity
I love you so much it hurts
So I hope I stay in the dirt
I can't hurt you if I do
And you can't hurt me

I love you
