Dagger

I bring the
dagger to my heart
for your love
I will die.

Your love suffocated me
your arms crushed my soul.

I am no longer the one you knew
I am no one
I am not me
I am not anything

I am dying in your arms
and all you can do is say
"I love you"
can't you see those are the words that are killing me.

Three very small, powerful words are
killing me because I can't say them back.

I want you to put me down
and let me die without you.

A later thought:
I don't deserve you.
