I Will Stay

What I said, I meant
and what I felt
deep down in my heart.
I was nothing but honest,
loving and compassionate.
I only want what's best for you.

Though I didn't know you as long as she,
I have been there for you since we met.
Never leaving, never faltering but
why do you pull away?

I would take a bullet for you,
sacrifice my life for you to live.
I would take away all of your pain;
take it onto myself so
you burden no longer.
You leave your chains.

I wish to light all of your darkness,
hold a candle for you until it burns through
my very skin;
slice open my heart and
give it to you.
You took it,
and stomped until I was numb.

I see the pain she causes,
I see your uncertainty.
I wish I could help,
I wish there was something I could do
to make everything easy.
You walk away.

I can help you no longer,
if you will not help yourself.
Your spell lingers,
keeps me trapped until the day I die
ripping me to shreds.
I will remain tattered
until you return to piece
me back together.
