Taking Back Words

How to take back words
That are hanging in the air:
I know that I can’t.

But everything’s changed.
Now that you know who I am,

I want to go back.

To secrets and lies.
I know that sounds terrible,
But you asked for truth.

You say you love me,

You say you’re protecting me.
From what, though? From what?

I know you love me.
You want me to be happy.
But you’re smoth’ring.

I can’t fucking breathe,
In this house you say is warm,
So warm I will burn.

I stand my ground as
You douse me in righteous flames

And say you love me.

Let me out of this.
You can’t say I’ll be glad,
To be in this house,

When you make it hell,
Take my friends away from me,
Along with my hope.
