April 13, 2013

It's gone.

I don't know where it went, but somewhere down the line I lost it.

I saw you, and got to know you and my common sense left me.

I knew you weren't good for me.

Trust me I knew.

But I shut away my fears, and grasped onto this feeling of comfort and warmth.

I think I was falling for you.

 

It's gone.

I don't know where it went, but somewhere down the line I lost it.

You opened up to me, and I you, and my walls came down.

I knew you were going to hurt me.

Trust me I knew.

But I shut away my fears, and let you hold me and kiss me.

I think I was falling for you.

 

It's gone.

I don't know where it went, but somewhere down the line I lost it.

I thought about you all the time, and yearned to be with you, and my heart was in your hands.

I knew you were going to crush me.

Trust me I knew.

But I shut away my fears, and allowed it to happen.

I think I was falling for you.

 

You did everything I knew you would.

You weren't good for me, you hurt me, you crushed me.

I gave you almost every part of me, and you took it, making empty promises along the way.

And I held tight to those promises, for they were all I had to keep me sane.

Am I surprised you did this?

Part of me says yes, because I didn't want to believe you would.

Part of me says no. I was foolish and naive.

I fell too quickly and this is the what happened.
