Let's end this while there's still light

Just two lost souls,
desperate to find happiness.
But in a fusion together,
our lives became a mess.

We're trying to fix each other,
without cleaning up our own lives.
Which makes our kisses poison,
and our hugs made of knives.

I know that you love me,
and that you're love is true.
But you cannot chain me to yourself,
or ask to hold your hands covered in glue.

I need freedom not a cage,
and while you offer both,
with all this words,
coming out of your mouth.

Even a cage offering freedom,
is a limiting tiny prison.
Yes there are pros, but too
many things can be called  con.

I love you, or so I think,
but what if that feeling is deadly?
We're both young, full of emotion,
can only predict the future badly.

I feel you breaking me,
while fixing me, so what
if I break too much before I'm whole?
This has to be said.

So darling, I'm sorry, but
I can't hold on much longer.
Even though I preach hope to the broken,
I am not much stronger.

I feel like I'm breaking,
and so are you, am I right?
So let's end this before the end,
let's end this while there is still light.
