I did not want these parts of me to latch on to those parts of you,
Because I think I was caring in a way that gave me large wounds inside of my stomach, Or in a way that was no good. I bought you flowers because they looked like you and I wanted you to take care of yourself. I realized when we both forgot who you were at 3pm, That you were never going to let me care for you. It happened at night, When I picked you up after you called me, Because I love you and you were crying. I could smell it on you. And then you sent me home alone. Funny how we ended up in the same accident. I may have been driving, But you begged me to crash. I've seen how you hurt, You keep reminding me that it's my fault. We'll here's the truth. I removed myself from you because you were hurting me too. But now let's not go comparing wounds after wrapping ourselves so tightly around this tree together. We've got to let us heal.
