I'll Keep You
I'll keep you.
Not because I want you, but
because you're mine.
Not because I love you, but because you're
proof that you once loved me.
Even
if you've moved on to other friends and other men, I'll keep you.
Even if your love is gone and all that's left is hate, I'll keep
you.
If
you feel angry, then be angry.
If you feel happy, then be happy.
If
you feel indifferent, then toss my memory away like so much trash.
But
know this...
I'll
keep you.
You're
mine forever.
You're in my back pocket and that's where you'll
stay until I take you out again.
In this, you'll have no choice.
Because I'm keeping you and I'm never letting you go.
Because if I do, I'll die.
You
are the stopper that keeps my spirit from pouring out of me.
Without
you, I'm no more than an empty shell.
I need you…but I don't
want you.
Because
you keep me alive…
And I
hate that.
Because
you make me feel…
And I
hate that.
Because
you make me weak…
And I
hate that.
Because,
every day I see you, you remind me of what I can never be…
And I
hate that.
But
know this…
I'll
keep you.
A/N:
I know that most people who've read my writing before are used to a funnier, lighter side of me.
But some stuff's been going on and I can't find that side right now…I'm sure I'll work it out later, but right now, dark is good.
