It's the hope that kills you

It’s the hope that kills you.

I don't wanna be there for you.

I don't wanna have to save you.

I don’t wanna be the one you need,

Because I will only ever hurt you.

I want you to be strong for you.

I want you to be ok.

I want you to be able to get by fine without me,

Because we both know I’m not here to stay.

Stuck to you, so you think you can’t leave,

When I know you can because I have seen it in my worst dreams.

You were gone and I was deceived.

The story never changes, love is my disease.

I offer you a part time love.

It’s never going to always be good,

And one day you will eventually lose my trust,

Because my love is broken, and I am not enough.

My love is truth spoken in riddles.

I will gladly meet you in the middle,

But do not put all your hopes on me,

Because my love is only temporary.

If that is what you want and that choice feels right,

Then I will drop all I have to do this night,

And I will be with you before the morning sun. 

Never stop believing in me and I will leave you stunned.

I will travel across this land to end up with you,

If that is what you need;

Because all I want to be,

Is whatever you need me to be.

I will be like the others, a false impression.

I will confess to you my reasons for the depression.

I will never learn my stupid lesson!

I will hurt you with my pain…

This is my confession.
