chewing off a limb to save you

would you love me if I hadn't loved you
since the first time we met?  
would you love me if I didn't have 
the back story to prove it?  
would you love me
if I didn't love you back
would you love me if it were easy 
for me to reject my responsibilities?
would you love me
if i didn't always ask you
to ride my roller coaster with me 
what are the things 
for me to cut out of who i am
to be someone you don't love.
Animals will chew off a leg
in order to get out of a trap
if you were a part of me
would you have me chew you off
so that you wouldn't love me
so I would not love you back
