My Dear

You told me she left you
You were all alone until you found me
You took your pain and sorrow
You finally had someone who'd take it all
You told me your biggest fear
How you're afraid of becoming her
She dumped all of her emotions on you
And you're afraid of doing the same

My dear
I know you're in pain
And I'll hold it
If that's what you need
Because that's what you gave
You were tired of holding your trauma

You were so afraid to leave her
Even after you knew she'd destroy you
You gave her all you had
And you knew you'd never get it back
So you stayed
So you'd have a part of you near
You were silently suffering
Until she left and you found me

My dear
I know you're in pain
And I'll hold it all
If that's what you need
Because that's what you gave
You were tired of holding your trauma

I'm afraid to betray you
But I'm so tired holding your pain
I've given all I can
But I can't go on if you give nothing back
I'll stay
I know she hurt bad
Every time you throw something else
I promise myself I won't do the same

My dear
I know you're in pain
And I'll hold it all
If that's what you need
Because that's what you give
You're tired of holding your trauma
My dear
I'm in pain
But I'll hold it all
Because that's what you need
And I'll keep it forever
Because you're tired of holding trauma
My dear
