I could never find the words

That express these emotions

I would never be able to tell you

The thoughts racing through my mind

I would be too scared to let you know

That you make me put down my guard

Leaving me in a vulernable state

Just waiting to be battered

You and I are more alike than you think

Bruised and beaten

A heart torn to pieces

The power to love.. and hate

If you only knew

That I would put my heart in your hands

For you to use and abuse

Would you do anything at all

I'm tired of feeling like this

Pushed to the side

But there's nothing I can do

But sit here and wait

So just another day

That I will have to wake up

And put on my mask

And hide from you.. what you mean to me
