I give this to you,
please
keep it safe,
keep it special.
Treasure it,
as you put it back together.
No, stop it!
Don't touch that!
Leave it alone;
it already hurts too much.
Forget what I gave you,
I take it back.
I can only hurt you.
Run from me.
Love and hold me,
keep me close as you
guard this bleeding
shrinking heart.
Hate me, abandon me.
It will be easier to bear,
from the patterns already formed,
for you to leave me here.
I can only hurt you,
but for now I settle
by hurting me instead.
No, too soon,
this too will hurt you,
too soon.
Again.
I hurt you again.
I need you.
Love me.
Hate me.
Abandon me.
Stay.
Just out of reach.
Hold me close,
from over there.
