Guilt


 

You can be so cruel

and what’s worse is-

You make me feel like I’m the guilty one

That my points are invalid

Because I know I cannot survive on my own yet

And so, I need you

But I don’t want you

And this residual guilt will make me feel even worse when you’re gone

But what you do is intolerable

And someday soon I will have to escape

But it’s a storm outside

So tonight I’ll stay

I wouldn’t have anywhere else to go anyways.
