I want for nothing

Yet the want to lose can sometimes feel like everything

You provide the sun, the moon and the stars

All I have for you, is my hand and my heart

My tears are not yours to shed

My burden is not your to carry

My soul is not yours to raise

You hold my break in your hands

You put my thoughts in your head

My heart is broken in two

You are my glue

I say I hate you

You give me nothing but love

I despise you for being almost perfect

You are better than me

You are good

I don’t always agree with what you say

I don’t always agree with your beliefs

But your words are not mine to carry

I carry your love

We may not always like all parts of eachother

But I can’t help it

I need you

More than anything
