Damsel in Shining Armor
i see you
laughing loudly with your friends
like you want me to hear
i also see you
sitting alone
with only your music for company
i see you
with your bright smile
pasted on and never faltering
i also see you
running your nails down your arm
over and over
what are you trying to scratch out?
you have split me into two people
i want to comfort you
but you have brought me so much pain
i want to help you
but what help did you bring me?
if i get too close to you
will i fall apart?
can i sacrifice myself
to save you?
can i break myself down
to build you up?
can a build a fire with my mind and heart
just to keep you warm?
i'll always care for you
forever
and ever
until the end of time
and beyond that
but i can't save everyone
this time
i'm choosing to save myself
