I can't take back what's done.
It seems like no matter how much I say it,
There is simply no understanding.
If I could,
I would carve your words
-and mine-
Into my skin to erase them
From your memory.
I would wear all of your bruises
For the rest of my life,
If that meant you never felt their pain.
I would drink all of your tears,
I would face every one of your fears,
I would take away all of your anxiety,
Bear the weight of everything for you all at once.
Somehow, I don't know that even that would be enough.
So, i will continue to break my own heart,
So that yours will remain safe.
