anxiety’s casualty

walking on eggshells and watching my tone  
thoughts racing so fast but talking real slow  
i love you so but i know you’re a troubled soul  
 
your problems multiply from your own mind  
into mine and they have grown out of control  
 
consuming us both leaving me trapped with nowhere to go  
 
carrying all these worries around is such a fatal  
blow  
 
now i know your problems are not mine they are your own  
 
i have to but i don’t want to let you know now  
that i have to let you go but i don’t know how  
 
i hope there’s still space to grow somehow  
this road that i must go it has to be alone  
 
i feed off you and feel the lull  
it’s safe to say time right now is critical
 
all these crucial decisions have paved the way for my own funeral  
 
i wanna make it very clear
that there’s still love here  
 
i think with my heart and not my head  
and that’s how i’ll wind up dead  
 
i always meant what i’ve said  
but now i’m just too far ahead  
 
from the space between where you are  
and where you’re supposed to be  
 
can’t you see you’ll just never catch up to me  
a consequence from all your trauma & worries
i have officially become your anxiety’s casualty
