Guarded

I’m so sick and tired
Of worrying about you
All the time.
You said you trust me,
Yet you never listen.
I always have your back,
But I have to endure
Agony to get you out.
I’m in unfathomable pain
Because my heart can only
Endure so much.
My heart is tearing at the seams
And you don’t seem to care.
When I’m gone,
You’ll just have to move on
And find a new one
That can protect you
As well as I can.
My life is already spilled out
For you,
You know this better than anyone,
And no matter how this ends,
I’m always here.
I can only hope you’ll change
Even a little bit
And decide to protect
Yourself a little too.
