~
You just cling to me —
Though I hurt you,
I let you down,
I show you the filters,
I lie to you,
I do crazy things,
I terrify you,
I make you cry,
I break you down
And ruin your grades
And ruin your nights
And ruin your life —
And you just cling to me
Because you won't see —
This pretty shell isn't the real me.
