Entwined

*I just don’t want to hurt you baby*

I don’t want to hurt you,
I love you babe, so much,
I don’t want you to see new marks,
From this blades fatal touch,

I wish that I could hide them,
And I hope that you don’t see,
I love you so much my baby,
But I had to set myself free,

I didn't want the pain,
I didn't want the cuts,
I just needed the blood,
It didn't hurt me much,

You have seen my scars before this,
The old ones; they had healed,
But this is fresh and new,
The skin all cut and peeled,

Please don’t think I don’t care,
Can you see that isn't true?
I don't want you to see the slit,
Cause i don't want to hurt you,

I’m afraid that if I tell you,
Or if I show you the slit,
Then you will go and leave me,
I couldn't take that, not a bit,

I wish we could be forever,
But I know that that wont be,
But I want to hold onto you,
For as long as I can, you see?

I don’t want to have to explain,
That I don’t know why I cut,
I just wanted to see blood flow from me,
I’m a stupid, lying, s*l*u*t,

Every time I talk to you,
I long to tell you it all,
I can’t stand all the lying I do,
Will you still catch me if I fall?

I’m not sure if I could take it,
If you just turned me down,
If you didn't try and help me,
I'd always wear a frown,

So right now I’m trying,
To play it nice and safe,
I’m keeping my slit behind my back,
Hid in a safe place,

I wish that I could tell you,
All that I’m afraid to say,
But I can’t bear the thought of losing you,
And my mind on the way,

So please just take my hand,
And this smile on my lips,
I wish that I could tell you,
That I’m going through this,

But you are slowly fixing,
My torn and tattered heart,
You've taken it into your hands,
Made me forget my crimson art,

I still deeply long to tell you,
I wish I could make up my mind,
But until then I’ll just keep on,
In your love, for now, entwined.
