life is built in a cycle and it swallows me whole. i was 
never quite prepared for that.and you wish i would tell 
you, but you already know my weakness. we'll make it 
through this. these half-truths have no value when i'm 
trying to build my trust in you. it's not your fault i'm 
jaded. we'll make it through this. faith alone will not 
sustain us anymore today. i'll cling on to your hand, 
hoping i can keep these promises. i see you trying to 
find me, you're looking around, you were never quite 
prepared for this. i promise i will protect you until 
shelter is found. you're weak but you'll make it through 
this. one kiss, one beautiful distraction. is that all 
that it means to you (this love)? one kiss, one beautiful 
distraction cripples me. i won't make that mistake again. 
i'm finding out what it's like to be afraid. a bullet 
graces my skin, a new memory. i won't make that same 
mistake again.
