Saving You

Don't you love the feeling,

Of starting something new?

Like the beginning of every morning,

With it's misty morning dew.

Nothing beats a fresh start,

With no looking back.

However of all my flaws,

Forgetting is what i seem to lack.

Scars are forever.

However they're not on me.

They're in the faces of my past,

Faces I'll forever see.

The last thing I want,

Is to add your face to the list.

To toy with your head and heart,

Only to have you dismissed.

I know my ways,

And I know how I do.

I'll keep you around,

Til there's no use for you.

You deserve more

Than to wait around for,

For a girl who lives in her past,

A girl whose always unsure.

I'd like to think I've changed.

And believe I closed those doors.

But that's too big of a risk,

So I'll break my heart, and save yours.
