Protection Mode

I was holding onto your life line

Begging for you to see me

All I needed was some time

But you had to see me bleed

I gave you everything that was left

Gifted you with my broken fragments

Gifted you with this chaotic mess

I became your fragile project

I was holding onto your words

Hoping that I could trust them

I just needed to put away my swords

But you had to watch me scream

I gave you what was left of my heart

Gifted you with all of the black decay

Gifted you with these tragic scars

I became your tentative prey

I felt I stumbled into you

With such grace

But the collision was too aggressive

For your taste

That demon sparkle in your eyes

Is singed into my brain

How can I sort out the lies

When you're running from me again?

I have my guard back up

Crawling back into the cold

I'm turning everything off

I am in protection mode
