please don't let me die

i can see the light is gone from my eyes
and the beauty of pain
only the brutality remains; the dissonance

i know i am not the same.
i'm not innocent
i'm held together with stitches.
time can only do so much.

when the sun comes out, i hide
against my will.
that will change.

everything you hate about me
is everything it takes to survive.
but only for the moment.

i am not righteous, i love you
no matter what sins you commit.
i love you, regardless of status
and class.
i am not righteous, but i am not so dissonant,
so confused,
that i do not know how to live without you.

this conversation may not even be happening.

but still, everyday,
she wonders why i'm so insecure.
