Baby Doll
I apologize
I truly do
I apologize for loving you
You’re perfect
Baby china doll
Button eyes and rosy cheeks
You make me happy to breathe
I love you baby
Sickly sweet
Like caramel toffee stuck to my teeth
And I’m sorry that you won’t love me
Pretty face and long limbs
Your siren song pulls me in
Fingers wrapped around my throat
I struggle
I struggle
But you don’t let go
You won’t let go
Please let go
You sob with teary eyes
I’m a fool for thinking you would hurt me
My darling
I’m sorry for hurting you
My world is barren without you
Your eyes hold galaxies
I see them when you speak of her
You’re breathless and gorgeous
But not mine to love
And I suppose I must apologize
I don’t mean to make things hard
Your smile is bright and shiny
I know you’re here because you need
You need
But it does not matter because I need
I need you
You ask
I’ll give you all
Take and take
I won’t refuse
My pretty baby
I know in the end I’ll still lose
Your replies are so saccharine
Depthless and barren
You coat them with honey
I love sweets
I run and run
My string bound to your finger
Please let me go
I’m sorry
Why can’t you love me
Why don’t you love me
Why won't you love me
You whisper that you do
So easily I forget
You’re nothing more than a liar
You will never love me as I do you
I wait for you in this darkness
Blindly searching for a route to your heart
Though I know you won’t turn on the light
Not until you need
You ask why I’m this way
Why I can no longer trust
Why I can no longer love
Why I can no longer speak
Why I am me
My beautiful baby doll
I’m desperately sorry
Please love me
