Fractured

Do not lean on me for I will crumble into empty words

Cast me aside I beg of you, cling to someone else

Weep another's name, my ears have gone deaf from year-long cries

It's a moment of weakness, this second in which I call your name

I can't be your savior, I stumble and I know your arms will shatter

I gave you my heart to clutch at, to rip out at your leisure

So, now take it and crush it, leave me in my hollow peace
