It’s Not Me

How do I tell you no?
I look at you
I see something there
Something I can’t return

I want to tell you
Fearful of how you’ll react
Afraid of hidden scarring
Invisible wounds that I caused

You chose me
And I don’t know why
I wish you hadn’t
There’s someone else for you

In your eyes I see
All the love I could ever need
But it wouldn’t be returned
I don’t know how to love you

You say I’m running
That I’m just not ready
But it’s not me
It’s you
