He tells me
he loves me
and all I can do is run
away
far away
in the opposite direction
like I always do
sprint away
like a deer caught in head lights
like the coward that I am.
My love is only temporary
no one can keep it forever.
Bought
Sold
And maybe traded.
But no keepsakes
I don't know how to love
how to give 100% of myself away
not just half.
I like to keep some to myself
a small piece
that no one can ever change
one foot out of the door
so I can run before it closes
and locks me in forever.
Forever is a long time to be wrong.
I don't want to make any mistakes.
I'm not ready for forever.
i'm not ready to surrender
