Sensing You

I see you breaking, hear your whimper

I watch you crumble as your world crashes down around you

I can taste your pain as bruised and salty lips crash into mine

I try not to listen as your muffled screams dance off the walls

I can hear the hope leaving you as 'I love you' becomes more and more scarce


I can't watch as you bite you lip to keep the tears at bay

I won't listen when the name you cry out isn't mine
I will ignore the taste of blood that now taints your mouth from fighting back screams


I will force myself to believe your lies

I'll listen when you beg me to stay

I'll hide my selfish pain under long sleeves

I will give you everything you want


I am not the one you want

I am not the one you need

I'm not who you dream about

I'm not the reason for your pain


But I wish I was

I wish I was the cause of you pain

I wish the name your scream at night was my own

I wish your broken skin was because of me


I want to be your heartbreak

I want to be the reason you can't sleep at night

I want to hear you beg me to love

I want to see you fall apart when I refuse you


I'm not the one you need but I needed you

I was the one you discarded

I'll watch your tears fall down and laugh

I'll smirk when the blood pours from your skin


But I will love you

I'll love watching the hope drain from you

I will love the feeling of your scars under my hands

I'll love every plea to stay that falls from your lips

I will love taste of cyanide that drips from our last kiss
