Run Away. Like The Others

Is this what you dreamed about?
All those nights you wished for me
Hoping I could be yours
Is this really what you wanted?
Of course it’s not
Who would want this?

You would see me
See my mask I wore everyday
The me covered by a smile
That I put on every morning
That’s what you wanted
But when you did get me
The mask began to fall away

I opened up to you
Thinking that you would accept me
You of all people
Should be able to do that
But you’re the one who slithers away
Like the cowardly snake you are
You can’t stand to see feelings

I’ve told you nothing
Compared to what I’ve done
And yet it’s still too much
For you to handle
You thought I was happy
You thought I was perfect
You were wrong though
You didn’t look before you leaped
And after you fell
You drowned in me

Go ahead and run away
I don’t care anymore
I try not to get attached anymore
Because that always ends badly
So leave me like the others
And know deep in your heart
That you could’ve helped in the end
But because you were scared
I’m still the same as before
Hiding my feelings and my pain
Waiting for someone strong enough
To hold me through the night
