Hopelessly Swept

How naive of me to continue falling constantly. Shame on me as I can blame no one but me. For eternity I have yearned for thee patiently. Debating whether or not that tender spot in my heart would mend before I allowed you another chance to bruise it once again. I have desired for you to aspire to fill the void that you left. I have witnessed the theft of my heart as it was no longer enough for you to tear it apart. You made it your mission to make sure it could never beat for another as I eagerly refused to run for cover, excited for the delight you bring, enabling it to mask the pain. And you're doing it again. When I finally thought I was strong enough to say no you rush along urging for us to let the madness go, start anew, grant you the opportunity to drag me through more scrutiny. Hopelessly swept off my feet as you confess feelings so deep, happily strung along, forgetting all that has gone wrong, veiling the abrasions, bandaging the scabs, praying you don't give me another reason to bleed.
