open wounds needs closed

you shut me out

angry if i do the same

relentless with your ego to be strong

you crumble and good for good reason

then use your rubble to throw stones at me

when i express the same sentiment to you, as you do me

“let me be here for you” you say as i open up

“let me be here for you” i say as you shut me out

maybe it’s who you are

maybe it’s what you are

maybe it doesn’t matter whether it’s who you are or what you are

all i know is that you pull me in

and then push me away

i can’t live on standby

i can’t just stand by

i won’t pretend that it’s okay for you to live a fragile life

and cut me every time you break

your breaking is breaking me

i’ll bleed out

open wounds need closed
