I dared

I dared... and I don't regret
as I lay here bleeding & near death
at the hands of the person I would least expect
For fighting a battle in their defense
the surprise and the pain steal my breath

It chokes me as I wilt and bend
but its something I would do again
after all, I was made to mend
being cast aside like worthless tin
is painful but wont bring my end

How could you turn your blade on me
How could you swing so carelessly
I have never been your enemy
still you cut me viciously
I never asked you for anything

Hurt and I get along so well
we are always together thru hell
in coping and handling it, I excel
Its the one constant embrace when I want to be held
Its the companionship that I wished for once in a well

I didn't expect anything in return
by pouring into you, my spirit came out of its urn
but this isn't the way I thought I would get burned
and there isn't even a lesson to learn
because I am who I am no matter how the road turns

It's my true nature, the way that I am
I give off love and am a true friend
I do all that I can in the time I'm given
I was wrong to trust the message you'ld send
I know that everything that begins must end

wrong to actually consider wanting again

As I lay here bleeding out
I know that there is no doubt
it doesn't matter what comes about
even knowing on you I can't count
the feelings remain the same throughout

The time just passes over me
it feels like an eternity
I can't die but I can be emptied
but it will never stop the love in me
and I can't hate anybody

So its just my pain and me...
we dance in darkness blissfully...
You were loved and will always be
Alone is just my destiny
and I am not allowed to need
