blinding

something continues to bring me back,

just when i thought i'd escape.

when i overcome this, it's so overpowering,

but i can feel that it's so fake.

because i feel myself slip back into the vortex that you've become.

pulling me in when i thought i was ready to go

pulling me in when i convinced myself i was strong.

 

so i can ask myself the same questions on how and why.

i feel like i'm bolted to the floor when i see people touching the sky.

you have me in chains and i cant escape the web you have woven around my bones.

its like you dont want me to go.

or maybe its just that i dont want to go.

 

what is it that youve been gifted with?

some force thats too strong to try and reckon with.

i thought i had be fighting.

but to myself i am probably lying.

the moment that your lips decide to close,

im left waiting to respond to the next thing you say.

you always know how to keep me hanging.

 

sometimes your lights are guiding,

and other times theyre blinding
