Love Me Or Leave Me

My heart stops
You’re mad at me again 
Please don’t hit me
You’re my friend 
No one else 
Please be happy 
I got you a job
All because I’m afraid 
Afraid of what you can do
Not again 
Don’t do it again 
I did what you wanted
I did for you
So you’ll be happy 
Because when you are happy 
I am safe 
From you at least 
I’m not safe 
I’m all alone 
I can’t trust 
Because it always fails 
I trusted them
My trust is betraying me
My heart fails
I trust her 
But she doesn’t trust me
I want she 
But she doesn’t want me
SHe wants you
I don’t see why
I’m afraid of you
I’m afraid of what you can do
I deserve it
I’m told I don’t 
But I believe I do
Because that is what I’m told
I’m worthless 
I’m a whore
Whore 
That is what I am
No matter what I do
No matter what I try to do
That is what I am
Why you always so thirsty 
I’m not 
I’m just lonely 
That is what I choose 
I choose it to hide
I’m hiding 
My insecurities
My faults 
My pain
My feelings 
I hide 
I hide behind it
That’s all I can do
All I can do is hide
All I do is hide
