peaches

 
aching trust stretched to its limits then snap
my honesty hurts its vulnerability tested
gentle faith in you, but you let me down

sacred truth turned dark with lies
secreting my pain I won't let you see
I'm a wreck

my softness turn to rage
deep inside it burn
simmering then growing out of control

You can't touch me now
It would be dangerous
flickering flame my love pulled thin
my patience gone

still I find myself reaching for you
pained epiphany, this feeling is a bullet
I can't hold onto
it strikes my flesh, and I scream

There is no escaping it
brutal knowledge I'm nothing without you
little bits of fragility and blood

weeping in tune with my fear
that I will never love again
