I’m toxic

Don’t start to care for me

Don’t give me your heart

I will let it bleed

I will tear your heart piece by piece

And give it back to you torn and damaged

You are pure and light

I will take that light and dampen it

I don’t mean to

But I can’t let good things into my world

So I ruin them

I leave my friends unfurled

I promise I care

And I promise I try

But the second things go bad

I run and I hide

I try not to be like this

I know it isn’t good

I can’t turn it off

Even though I wish I could
