Scars & Bad Habits

I have habits I'm not proud of

Shadows dark and deep

Lies that I have told myself

And secrets that I keep

Still I'm so much more than flaws and scars

I'm honest and I'm true

Trust that when I give at all

I'll give everything to you

So much so I'll be left empty

Hollowed out inside

I know you'll take all I have in me

Except the parts I hide

It's the scars and habits I'll hold onto

When you've had your fill

A reminder that I  let you have it

Nothing against my will

And when you slowly drift away

My heart will let you go

You will have a piece of me

I'll have the scars to show.
