Is This What Love Is?

You see the marks on my arms And ask why they are there You ask and truly care I divert to a different topic You tell me to stop it You demand a response I have nothing to say I feel so ashamed I do what I do Because I thought nobody would care I felt so alone and scared Once again you ask why I stutter and lie You know right away But don’t send me astray As all the others did You have my trust and respect But I can’t just open up And tell you how I feel You would just think It is to unbelievable to be real But you would try to understand Why I do what I do Along with the pain I go through My hurt cannot be placed into words I cannot eat I cannot sleep You are always on my mind You seem to care all the time Because of this I think of you so highly No matter how many times you try me But I still don’t know why you wonder I don’t know why you care I do not believe I am worth your time Although you tend to disagree You are what set me free From all my hurt and pain I will no longer live my life in shame Maybe I will explain one day You are definitely worthy of knowing While no other person is I just am not ready yet
