For You


For you I will trap myself

I will tell myself that you lie to me and lay your hands on my because you love me.

I won't run, I'll pretend to not be afraid but once I'm alone, I break.

I will hate myself, the way I speak and the way I think.

I won't stop believing that one day you will treat me differently.

I will torture myslf with the thought.

All because of a little four letter word and what I think it means.

And because of you I will never love like this again.

For you I am breaking free.

I will never fear you.

I won't ever believe again.

For myself, I will stop loving you and begin repairing my own broken soul.

Because of you I am leaving this trap, and never looking back.
