That one night, I told you I was scared 
 "What if I was to fall??" 
Yet, you whispered in my ear ever so softly 
“But darling what if you were to fly?” 
I trusted in your words, but my feet never left the ground. 
You clipped my wings and hung them up on a frame. Beautiful and trapped. Decaying slowly for your eyes to love for an eternity And you dare say its my fault for staying, when I was held hostage from your selfishness. 
 You ******* tricked me. But maybe it was my fault. 
The problem with me was I depended on you to love me the way I wanted to love myself. 
 But by doing that I never was able to reach to my horizons & find what was needed. 
I was only familiar to the grip of your arms holding my wings down.

Fallen Angel
That one night, I told you I was scared 
 "What if I was to fall??" 
Yet, you whispered in my ear ever so softly 
“But darling what if you were to fly?” 
I trusted in your words, but my feet never left the ground. 
You clipped my wings and hung them up on a frame. Beautiful and trapped. Decaying slowly for your eyes to love for an eternity And you dare say its my fault for staying, when I was held hostage from your selfishness. 
 You ******* tricked me. But maybe it was my fault. 
The problem with me was I depended on you to love me the way I wanted to love myself. 
 But by doing that I never was able to reach to my horizons & find what was needed. 
I was only familiar to the grip of your arms holding my wings down.
