You Bleed Me Dry

You Bleed Me Dry
I denied my own hearing because I knew it was approaching,
You spoke delicately, it didn't soften the blow,

I had an abundance of questions yet answers were scarce,
Let's just be friends you said, I masked all of my emotions,

If I could just hide my reaction until I found solitude,
Maybe then you would not think me weak, I could hide,

Post-ordeal, I discovered how to wean myself off you,
Yet you returned and returned, I stayed addicted,

I took pity upon you, like I was the one who did you wrong,
I neglected myself, while you continued to kick me,

Kicking me while I was down, I had nothing left,
And you still continue to take from me, you bleed me dry.
