the cruelest thing
“you're not good for me.
i know.
i stay.
i gave you everything.
you took my attention
and kept your heart
somewhere i couldn't reach.
i've been to the brink
more times than i can say
and still come back
to the same door.
where was my fault
in loving you
with all of it?
i can't answer that.
so i just stay
holding something sharp
pretending it doesn't hurt.
that's the thing about this.
you're breaking me
and i still don't want you
to be broken.”
