If you love me

Love me
Hold me
Tell me things you would never do

Keep me safe from the danger
But you're the only danger
To my heart

WE promised we'd be together
Even when rain is the only weather
When the sun starts to fade
Your hand will hold a blade
Close to my heart and keep me caged

You told you would never hurt me
 You killed me
Killed the person I once was
Someone locked up as one
Too many sides that you couldn't handle
A flame on the candle
That you blowed away

You killed them
You hid them
You locked them up inside
You told me it was childish
And your smile grew wide

My heart is bleeding out in pain
That you would ever do this to me
My tears keep coming down like rain
Cause I thought you loved me

Your claws grew deeper in my hair
As you dropped me
And went back into your lair
I am drowning in tears
Swimming is blood
It feels like Spears
But it wasn't enough

You came back for seconds
Beat me to a pulp
Yelling at my face
Saying that I was a slut
I stood my ground
Blocked out your words
And continued to move forward cause it just too much

It's impossible to hear
That laughter we shared
The cry that was there
And The way that you cared

You gave no respect to me, myself and I
I was too much for you to hold by
And it's not fine
The way im breaking inside
You gave no love whatsoever
After that day
You came back all disgusting
Hated me for nothing
I knew I had to get away
You threatened to kill me
To kill the ones I loved
You threatened to kill yourself
If I ever run

I tried, i tried too many times
To tell you
That this is not love whatsoever
We were so close to being forever
Times have changed for us
And now it times to get on that bus

I'm sorry for the way you got cuffed
It had to come
Cause you had no love in you whatsoever but
I will always remember the day you said
"Hey Ruth, I love you forever'"
