I’d take a bullet for you

Only to realize you were the one holding the gun

I cannot undo what is done

Cannot unsing a song that’s been sung

But your betrayal will leave a scar that cannot be erased

A blemish on my skin

Sticks and stones never broke my bones

But words made me starve myself

Until you could see all of them

But even still I want to let my love for you thrive

Even as my knees buckle and my blood drains

Although you cannot change things by loving them harder

I will try
