It eats at my mind and soul,
confusing me to take control,
oh! how I cannot rule myself
that it should come to this hell.
It's what you do to me
When you look at me and see,
the good instead of the bad
and the happy instead of the sad.
I'm only afraid because I have so much to lose,
and if I don't get over it, then you will choose,
to leave me anyway, so what's the use?
Why can't I get past this self abuse.
Thoughts are only detrimental
They are only self judgemental
But I need to just let go of fear,
so that I can keep you here.
I need to breathe, and just let go.
I need to keep wanting to let you know,
that you mean the world and so much more,
I couldn't stand to see you walk out the door.
