Selflessness

With the poison on your tongue
You're slowly killing me
My wrists are swollen, red, and wrung
And lifeless with worry

My face is pale and eyes are red
I don't even look the same
All the things I'm going through
And you're the one to blame

I'm catching onto every hint
But I'll act as if I'm not
I'm counting the number of times I've cried
It's more than the times we've fought

I'm reading between all your lines
That you've rehearsed with diction
I'm classifying your book of lies
As an article of fiction

Because everything that I believed
Has only let me down
I'll sit right here with all my tears
In hopes that I might drown

I know I sound pathetic
But who are you to judge
I'm giving everything I have
And I still can't hold a grudge

Selflessness is my motivation
And giving's all I do
But I hope you don't expect me
To just get over you!
