Nobody Said it Was Easy, No One Ever Said it Would Be This Hard

Give me shelter, or show me heart
Come on love, come on love.
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart.

-Ben Howard

I thought we'd be on the same team.

I thought it's be us vs. everyone and I'd never question your loyalties.

Turns out you're my biggest rival, my greatest threat.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to determine which face you wear.

I'm dragging me feet to return to you, leaving drained and empty.

You keep your box of knives close, always waiting for the perfect opportunity to find the flesh my armor has left exposed.

You move like night, swift and silent.

I'm left following the drops I've bled to try and find my point of weakness.

I cannot recall when you made me happy.
