I can only take in so much hurt,
Before it starts to razor cut my lungs,
And I stop breathing in my own air.
I become caged, in a thought that you shared.
And I do my best to stand tall, to be the best I can be so that maybe you would set me free.
Incorrectly saying that you do in fact love me.
Silence.
I'll break open my teeth and spill out what my mind has had trapped inside of me.
I don't mean to make you hurt, the same way as I. But I can't stand by and watch people play with my life.

This Is Love
I think love is more than a word. I have come to this conclusion just by being in your world. Love is in touch. A simple, leg pressed against my leg, does he realized he's touching my leg? type of touch. The warm feeling that is sent straight up my entire body when you place your leg against mine.
