I want to sew my lips shut so you can’t kiss me

I want to cut off my arms so I never have to hug you

I want to rip my voice box out so I can’t accept anymore of your bull$H!+ apologies

I want to cut off my legs so I don’t run back to you

I want to be deaf so I don’t have to hear your voice

I want to go blind so I don’t have to read all our old texts

I want to die because I can’t live without you

There will always be that one person that you love beyond compare, but hurts you again and again.
