I Gave You Me

I told you my thoughts

And gave you my heart

I cut myself up

And tore myself apart

I let you have me

All of me

I showed you

What I could do with a pen

I warned you about me

About who I could be

I warned you I could be cold

I warned you I could kill

I gave you a chance

A chance you broke

I gave you another

And you broke me more

You told me

"It was an accident"

But was it really?

Was it?

I lowered my standards

To give myself to you

The fictional characters

Sound far more appealing now

I told you about me

I gave you who I was

And you threw it away

And took out the trash

Metaphors are shitty

So let me just be honest

I loved you

And I really shouldn't have
