I love you

As tears fill my eyes with doubt
Your heart screams a bit too loud
To my self-conscious,
Like an overreaction
To my newest direction,
Leading the way
But with a rope around its heart
And an unspoken word
That’s not meant to be hurt.

You’re sitting in a cave
That’s supposed to be my grave,
And I’ve fed myself with bitterness
That your eyes can’t bear to see.
With your latest calculations
About my expectations..
I dare you to look in the eyes
Of a killer,
My perfect filler,
Your worst thriller,
Because the last three words
I’m able to see
Are instead of you, hunting me

And I’m fighting against the tide.
