A Poem by IWASNEVERTHERE

My darling
I have days I cannot feel
My heart goes numb
I fear this for you
I fear this for our future
I do not want to hurt you
My mind is already semi detached
Neighbouring demons and fears I cannot escape
Is this what you really want?
I cannot offer a fairytale
The big bad wolf is just a huff away
Please try and understand
I am not the picture you wish for
My heart is a place where flowers wilt
Your tears cannot bring them back to life
Would you rather pain or pleasure?
Would you rather love or lust?
Would you rather I stay and then leave?
Leaves fall from trees
I cannot say why but it's just in their nature
Temporary hearts are temporary homes
I do not want you to move in when I cannot promise to stay
So please leave your shoes at the door
Exit signs plastered across my face
Fate isn't easy to erase
Hearts do not come easy to replace
Save yourself the trouble
Save yourself the pain
Your dress does not turn into a cape
The demons you battle are light years away
This is not your fight
I am not a home for two
Too many times I've tried
Too many times I've failed
