Bleed Love Back.

This is my kindness.

Bleed Love Back.

I wish I could grab you by the shoulders.

Shake you so hard and maybe you'll understand.

I had plans for us, asshole.

They involved growing old in the desert.

All three of us like a family.

A place we'll live and love, until we're dead.

I felt something with you I only felt once before.

Fuck you, go to hell, seriously.

No, I don't mean that at all.

I could never say that to you.

Even if I want to hate you and hurt you.

Hurt you deeper than you hurt me.

Cause you pain like when I couldn't reach you.

Did you stare at your phone and pray for it to stop?

I'd slap you across the face.

For leaving me when I needed you the most.

I could never touch you like that, never.

Sorry, baby, there is no satisfaction for you.

Because I'll never say I don't love you.

Forgiveness in all forms is yours.

Cut me open and I'll only bleed love back.

Maybe you'll understand this one.

Let it eat you up on the inside, my kindness.

About the Creator

Rabbit

I see the world a little differently than most. Even at a young age I was writing down what I saw but never sharing it with a soul until now. I'm choosing love over fear.
