With you I feel safe
Protected from it all
I jump with no care
I know you’ll never
Just let me fall
I can come to you
Because you will look after me
There’s few places like this
Where I can be free to be me
With you I feel safe
Protected from it all
I jump with no care
I know you’ll never
Just let me fall
I can come to you
Because you will look after me
There’s few places like this
Where I can be free to be me
I presented myself
Showed that I belonged
I thought I was already in
But I still find myself
Screaming
Shouting
At glass walls I can’t seem to climb
Looking for the password
That I’ll never find
Open sesame won’t do
I guess I’ll never get through
She gives and gives
For what?
Drained near the point
Of no return
But
Who saves her when she needs it?
Who extends an arm to pull up
Back to the top?
Who makes her pain stop?
No one
I refuse to stand by
And do nothing
As her world faded to black
I will give all of me
Down to the skin off my back
Just to make her whole again
My love penetrates
Down to the core
It fills you to the brim
Till you can’t take anymore
I’ve been called toxic
Because of the side effects it brings
It causes people
To do some crazy things
I try to control it
Because if I let it run free
The power of my love
Will end up destroying me
☣️☣️☣️
Life wanted us to wait forever
Just to be together
Now that we’ve crossed that road
We’re still fighting to be close
Delayed and cancelled flights
Unexpected expenses
Keep us far away
Distance will make us stronger
Isn’t that what they say?
I can’t wait till it ends
To hold you in my arms each night
When everything in the world
Will once again feel
Just right
Transparency was the word used
But when it comes to the truth
Why would you pick and choose?
Makes me wonder
Did everything reach the table?
I wonder if he told her
That behind her back
He bonded with her friend
She’d smile in her face during the day
Joining in in the games we played
Then find her way into his bed at night
He had to have told her…
Right?
Did he tell her about
The girl who goes to her church
The one that bakes
She had the icing he needed
He had his cake and ate it too
He told her
He just had to
Did he tell her about the sleepover?
Waking up and kissing another in his bed
Did he mention she kept coming back?
Did it slip his mind?
It must have been that…
I wonder
Did he forget to mention
Falling in love?
Did he speak of
Trying to drown his feelings
The vodka instead
Leaving him unable to drive
Did he tell her where he slept?
Tell me it’s not another tidbit kept
Did he talk about the forbidden place?
Where he knew he shouldn’t be?
He couldn’t help but get more
Of the one who helped
Break her heart before
Maybe he couldn’t confirm her fears
So some things he didn’t share
Did he explain things like
When she couldn’t get him at night
Where exactly he was
And what he was doing with who
He should have
If he really wanted
To be true…
I still wonder if he told her
Or was it all hid
I guess he doesn’t have to tell her anymore
Because…
I just did…
Shh…
No secrets
Why do some men feel
That it’s ok to break hearts?
Is the craving for control so strong
That they don’t realize what they’re doing
Is completely wrong?
Breaking down their partners
To the brink
Edging on self harm and self hate
To the point where
They’re too weak to walk away
So they stay
Because no one loves them
They’re crazy
They’ll never find anyone else
At least…
That’s what they’re told
The little things mean more
They scream louder
They carry more weight
But because they’re little
They’re often so easy
For us to miss
At the end of the day
It will always be you
No matter what they say
And no matter what they do
The more life tries to pull us apart
The harder we fight to be closer
Try as they may, they’ll never
Be able to get in between us
There’s just too much trust
Yes, we fall short
But no one is perfect in this world
We just dust each other off and start again
Tweaking ourselves ever so slightly
Fitting all the pieces where they go
The puzzle that is our love
Is only meant for us to solve
Until the end of time
I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine
It belonged to him
An intricate piece
Meant to be adored
Maybe it wasn’t
What he was looking for
So he threw it away
For something “better”
To each his own they say
Lying in the heap of discarded things
It was picked up by another
Who took the time to look
In all the places
Never explored
Somehow it became
Even more beautiful than before
Restored
His love will be rewarded
Forevermore
