i trust you i said
(i'll wait for you to hurt me)
i love you i said
(i bet that you'll desert me)

we can't pay the bills?
(i just spent a LITTLE money)
don't WANT to take my pills!
(i thought you loved me, honey...)

why do you accuse me?
(i didn't steal that shirt)
you just want to abuse me.
(you treat me like i'm dirt)

why are you always screaming?
(i stole it; yeah, so what?)
what is it that you're scheming?
(i feel like i'm a slut.)

you held me and i cried-
(i'm broken- you don't want me.)
i reel towards suicide
(why do you always taunt me?)

you killed me i said
(i knew that you'd deceive me)
i hate you i said
(just promise you won't leave me)

    borderline personality disorder is one of the most difficult to live with. you never feel like you have a grip, you feel like a failure, you want to trust people and can't... it's wretched. nothing seems right.
