Promise me nots.

I want you to be selfless. I want you to be comforting. Give up a part of yourself.

Take what you get, don't turn it into what you wish it was.
You said you're sorry. Well, I feel sorry for you too.
The words you say are always blown over. The look in your eyes always haunts me. Though, you never seem to mind haunting me yourself. You've brought us accusations, and claims that you're the better person, though you have no problem with pushing us away. I'd rather be on my own, in this battle, and never be responsible for the ones that follow behind. I'm frustrated. I'm living in purgatory.
The fire kept burning. You tried your hardest to put out the flames. They burned the memories of my mother. I was too young to remember. I promised new memories. I promised that one day, I'd recreate them. I promised that one day, I'd bring you new life.
You can't throw out your negativity. You can't throw out the promises that you think you make. There is nothing new under the sun, and I see that now more than ever. It's all been done before, one way or another. Though, you think that you've created something new, that cannot be healed. That cannot be dealt with. You're crawling to the top of the surface, you've welded it closed though.
I'm speaking my mind. I'm going into a new place. I have nothing to lose, so why not pick up what I already lost?
I'm not trying to make anything worth reading anymore. I've lost anything worth speaking. I've lost any meaning in my words.
You still have a chance though, precious young one. You'll never be lost behind. It's only up to YOU now though. Don't depend on me, or them. You're the only one who can save yourself.
