Malevolence goes both ways.
I...
Could've been
The man you see in front of you all,
But he
Slipped away -
To put this pride in to a place of hiding
From everyone.

I...
Suffer through
And push away anyone in love with me, I...
Wish
I could have
The pretty things you see in me,
Underneath.

I've...
Set away
Anything important to me in the day...
I wish
I could have
The pretty things inside of you,
Understood.

By anything?
