you'll shine like gold

i asked you for your hand
and you asked me to wait

but i did it because i knew i couldn’t

your voice still calls my name
at night
and i can’t erase what you’ve
already given me

how did i end up here
with my heart pressed up
against the wall
holding a bag of suicidal hope?

i destroyed what little
you had to offer
in hopes that you would
walk away with everything
that i had left to give

and the truth is that
i still love you

but i’m too afraid to atone
because you are so willing
to forgive

i create my own deaths
when my lives are just not worth living

and now it’s my turn to ask
can you wait?
