You say you love me

You say you love me

I take a deep breath and repeat that in my mind

You say you love me

As your holding me crying. 

I can feel your hand digging into my arm 

It’s like your hanging on as if your life depended on it. 

I look up 

You say you love me

You see the fear in my eyes 

I pull away 

You say you love me

He’s right I cant leave 

He loves me 

I can feel your presence in the air 

I want today to be a good day 

I could cut the tension with a knife it’s so intense 

You say you love me 

Then why do I feel like i’m walking on eggshells 

Stay in line I cant mess up today 

One wrong move, one wrong word 

I mess up

Deep down I knew it was inevitable 

I see his eyes and I know he’s no longer in love

He’s dark and I know it

I can feel my lungs slowly collapsing 

I try to fix it 

Makes everything worse 

I beg for it to stop 

It’s getting cold 

I feel something on the floor 

It’s wet 

Looking down seeing my hands

Their red 

Everything’s getting fuzzy, grainy 

I’m short of breath 

Scared 

This isn’t real 

I take a deep breath and repeat in my mind 

He says he loves me 

The only thing that lets me breathe even for a moment..

He says he loves me.. 

He loves me.. 

You said you love me.
