Hurt

They say your not up to love

That you've been hurt before

But does that mean I haven't

Because I can assure you I have

I have scars deep

Salt in my wounds

I even fell to the dark side

That's why I fell for you

I saw your light

And I wanted to return to my old self

Each time the knives get sharper

And the bullet holes get bigger

Boys are like snakes

Venomous

But you

You are clearly full of light

We've both been hurt

And we both can help each other through it

Your not the only one who is bruised

You have to accept me

And give me a chance

I'm not like the other girls you've been with

I understand the thought of love to you is not appealing

I know what it is like to be broken

He took me down a path

But since I met you I've started to come back up

Ghosts from your past are now haunting me

They prevent you from opening up to the best thing

Me

I've been betrayed, backstabbed, abused, denied, ignored, and hurt

But I'm willing to risk that again by being with you

I'm afraid of love too

But I will never hurt you
