I blinded myself in love, was I not worthy enough,

To withstand those things unsaid wasn't the best I could have.

Dealt with you like a rose, touched your thorns before touching you

Bitterness cursed your words before I could heal.

Unmasked in such a way, I saw the scars that you made,

Where were you while I was putting together us?

Crying over you, remember how I made you my world.

You revealed yourself, a different human being was found

What will I do with these wounds?
