A gentle warning
Before we begin
A word of caution
Before we pretend
To remind yourself At the end
Before I crawl
My way in
Under your skin
Know right now that
I'll stretch you
Stress you
Test you
And unrest you
Leave you a mess
Depressed
Then catch you
Disappear
Come back
Undress you
Shine a mirror
On your dark side
Learn all the parts
You try to hide
You'll be at war
As you decide
What's worth more?
My touch,
Or your pride?
You see, I'm not the one who stays
But I'm the one you won't forget
The one you wish you never met
When you toss and turn at night, in bed
You'll replay all the things I said
Regret the messages left on read
Type out apologies you can't send
Because you know I comprehend
You better than you can yourself
And all the ways you try to shelf
Your vices and your infidels
As your anger fades into pastels
And you'll hate that you can't hate me
You'll break, trying to break me
Is it a mistake? Or fate? My body?
That makes you crave to be inside me?
And why is it you can't let go?
When'd I take hold 'round your throat?
And how'd I always seem to know?
The cards you never dared to show?
So remember now
Before we start
This was always meant
To fall apart
And you'll want me gone
But once I depart
You'll realize I left
With parts of your heart
So honey,
Heed these words
Not as tout
Our differences
Will bear my clout
It won't be long
'Til you're without
But I'll be the itch..
You.
Can't.
Scratch.
Out.
