That which is safe
Stay with me

I am sorry
For this heartbreak that I have caused to you
And for leaving all of this behind
And I will never be able to wash this guilt from myself

I am weak (bereft of fulfillment)
Hurt goes on (this language of wrongdoing)
Speak softly (and be gentle)
I love you (I'm sorry)

You are a gift that has blessed me
With finer things
And I'm the one who threw it all away

I welcomed dread into your place
And it was worse than when I was starving to death
Cold and emaciated
Starving to death

And I would rather starve for eternity than see
Your universe close its eyes to our joys together
You and I
