Don't Let Me Go

When I look I only get confused
Your face is just an illusion
A seemingly blank canvas
But it\'s riddled in mystery
Mysteries I want to delve into
I want to trace the lines and feel my way beyond
You are scared of breaking me
But there\'s nothing to spoil
I destroyed myself a long time ago
Hiding the secrets people should know
I trailed after you like a lost dog
And I lived in my old haunts
And I lived just like a spectre
Just holding the breath to see if I could be found
To see if anyone would rise to the challenge
But no one can even focus on me
It only takes someone to care
But there\'s too much hate buried in there
Everything you\'ve done that has helped me, protected me
Has it been a waste because now I cannot save myself?
You look at me and despise what you see
But it is not me you see
Keep on looking at me through your mirror
You see what you expect to see
But look carefully and closer
Is it really me?
Maybe soon you\'ll see what pain I hide in my eyes
One day you\'ll know everything I did was for you
One day you\'ll know that something was worth a damn
But for me it was all for you
I have always walked a fine line
Balancing in the shadows
And I need you to bring some light
So you can actually see my face
Bruised by the night
And I\'ve been longing for day for so, so long
Won\'t you look closer?
And see the secrets I try desperately not to spill
The lies that unweave before your eyes
Untying the tangled knots that have been loosened just by you being here
I know you do not know me
But I\'m here for you to find
I swear I\'m still here somewhere
Please just come and set me free
It\'s all I ask for
All I need
Please, please, please don\'t let me go

**ok yet again this doesn\'t have a perfect catagory. It\'s a love and friendship poem but it\'s also being consumed by too much misery to prejudice to see what\'s before you and to how we are blinded with our misconceptions.**
