Say You Love Me

I’m so sweet

but I️ hate to show it

I can hear my heart beat

and I know that it’s a beast

I️ was born to love and heal

cursed to feel it all too much

it eats me alive from the inside

on the outside I’m only tired

I finally understand the way I’m wired

and I admire it

the way I refuse

to give my pain to anyone else

but I give my love

even when there’s nothing else

love hurts me and heals me

and I hate that I’m so strong

and fragile at the same time

so strong, no one checks on me

so fragile, I just need to be hugged

I wish I could hold myself

but right now wine is my consolation

I wish I could let you love me

save myself from the emotional isolation…
