Don't Take it Away

Wrapped up in a web of the ties,
I stay clung to you; you’re breaking me.
The sticky string of old connections
don’t tell me lies; you’re hurting me.
All of the pressure to soothe your pain
blinds my wisdom like a foggy rain.
You can call me names; tell me that I’m wrong.
Just please, don’t take away my love.

I want nothing more than to rip
these strings from me; you’re vexing me.
They bind my veins. Why can’t
I break this grip; you’re deceiving me.
Everyone wants the time to rewind.
They are all moral, but they are blind.
They can think me false or myopic minded.
Just please don’t let them lose my love.

I will lose everything in this constriction.
You will gain everyone and their attention.
I know that mourning is a solemn phase,
but why must I grieve with you?

Do I sound selfish in this cage?
I can’t breathe; you’re beating me.
How can I finally free myself
from your outrage; you’re devouring me.
Please, you can keep me here.
I’m trapped without sight, and I won’t hear.
You can bring me down into your sins,
but just please, don’t take away my love.
