For You, I Will

I don’t like to think about

The Inevitable

I don’t like to dwell upon

Fading daylight

I can’t stand to leave my heart

So vulnerable

But for you, I will

I don’t know how everyone else

Manages

A bruise that never heals

…Burned in slow

I can’t stand to face the dark

So invisible

But for you, I will

For you, I will

Cry until it feels like my ribs my break

Dive down to the depths of the murky lake

Put a little shine on your name

Bear the hurt, pretend to be brave

For you, I will

For you, I will
