Please, I’ll ruin this
please, just let me be quiet.
don’t let me draw you in, i’ll ruin you.
i’ll say all the right words at the right times.
i’ll sing you the songs of love with a voice you’ll never hear again.
i’ll show you the world through a lens you’ll never get to keep.
i’ll give you all of myself, then i’ll say that i can’t find the parts of myself that i lost.
i’ll keep growing even when you don’t want any more of me.
i’ll be selfish and ask you to give me all of you.
i’ll make promises that i’m not sure i’ll keep.
i’ll give you everything, then tell you how much i thirst.
i’ll tell you how much room i have to experience
and that it’ll never be enough once i have it.
i’ll show you my selfish ways and you’ll be scared that i’ve gotten bored with you.
you’ll start to love me with every fiber of your being.
you’ll build a trust in me that you won’t expect me to break.
you’ll give me expectations that i’ll never be able to live up to.
you’ll demonize me once i finally lose my patience.
you’ll give me a hope that i know won’t be enough to save me.
you’ll make me feel like we’re unbreakable even though we aren’t.
you’ll put me on a pedestal then tear me down once i show you all of myself.
please, just let me be quiet.
if i talk, i’ll ruin this.
