All writing, audio, and visual are created by me.
[VERSE ONE]
You know for all the loves I've lost
I've never ever been the first to leave?
And I'm not even talking about
Romantic loves; Then maybe I'd feel more-
Justified.
I'm talking about friends I've loves a little too wholly,
Held a little too closely
Until they've left rather abruptly and left me-
Standing in the wreckage of a home I realize
I built almost entirely alone.
[VERSE TWO]
But in the ruin and rubble of my soul
I cannot help but leave the door open and
Call out to them as they leave:
"If you ever need shelter-
I'll never turn you away.
The storm outside is harsh,
And my loyalty is my own vice.
... And I love you.
[VERSE THREE]
And I can't stop loving you.
I don't have it in me,
Even when you trample every flower you
Asked me to grow.
When you open up the windows and throw up
The promises we made to each other.
[VERSE FOUR]
I'm not saying its a good thing,
What I am.
Frankly I have a lot of healing to do now to stop
Sacrificing myself to protect you, now-stranger.
But I would never treat you, or anyone
How you have treated me.
Which means I can't give up on this.
