Closed Circuit

I met you with all I had
Old wounds and mechanical laugh
An empty shell of who I was
A byproduct of a failed love

You twist my heart around my throat
With every breath I almost choke
As rims of tears spring in my eyes
I do not cry or wonder why

Emotionally crippled and confused
And becoming so tangled up in you
There's nothing I won't go through

I need to know who you are
See the beauty and the scars
Feel your skin and beat of your heart

Look through your eyes into your dreams
Pluck the rosebud from your cheeks
Just to understand what it means

I have nothing to offer, no worth
Nothing to compensate my hurt
As I wait patiently off to the side
No expectations or reasons to try

I can't wrap my mind around you
You give nothing but take nothing too
I'm unsure of how this all works
Push me away when you lured me first

Should I step away or step closer still?
Is this the end or a show of will?
How can I know if you never tell?
