Bad For Me

I could never tell you to your face
How bad you are for me
You speak so softly
About these gigantic dreams
With eyes as wide as the sea
You make me believe
In things that I know are fallacies
But I buy in
To you
Even when I know
The damage it will do
To a heart as fragile as the one I hold
It’s like a weight
Made to custom fit
Stretched across my soul
Silver tongued serpent
To whom I lose control
You poison me
But the taste is so sweet
I can do little but comply
And fall down at your feet
You’ll never know that I am weak
Because I rise to any occasion
Just hiding the abrasions
You’re the perfect reparation
Because you know that I won’t pray
A perfect restoration
Because you understand
I interpret beauty in different ways
And you’ll never expect me to say
The words that could make you sway
That’s why you’ll always be bad for me
Yet I will always let you stay
