Choke

These scars weren't left by me,
They were words unspoken, but you'll see.
I let you walk, I choked it back
I wanted to say, but not like that.

My heart feels broken, and I don't know
The cliff appeared, and I dropped below.
I feel so shocked, that I can't fly
The darkness closes in, there is no sky.

I want to reach up, but things get in the way
More things to pile, each day.
Is it your way, to protect your heart?
Because sweetheart, you tore mine apart.

I can't choke anymore, I can't breathe
These emotions, start to seethe.
I can't explain, they burn me now
I want to blame myself, but I blame you somehow.

Each cut, you made with your knife
Each time, you stepped on my life.
You want to protect, everything inside of you
Even if it causes others, to be rather blue.

I want to take drugs, to numb the pain
But afterwards, there's more to gain.
My thoughts start at me, once the drugs are gone
Not that they really left, they were there all along.

How much more, can one person take?
How much emotion, until I break?
I think it's reached it, I can feel it there
Yet will you step in, and show you care?
