Hand in hand We walked across A bridge we built On perfect flaws
Below our feet Ran a river Of broken hearts And dreams that withered
Cringing at This dreadful sight I clung to you And held on tight
I looked into Once beaming eyes Then suddenly I realized
My heart was breaking I was falling in You had pushed me To my end
And as I plunged Into the blood Of broken hearts Tears, and mud
I grabbed your hand And said not today I will not be Swept Away
I searched your eyes And begged for love But all I got Was another shove
Drowning in the pain of others The blood washed away The scars I'd covered
Trying to keep My fears at bay I refuse to be Swept Away
Holding onto empty lies My tears became the rivers pride It grew in strength and pulled me under Out of hope, and way out numbered
Opened my eyes For one last glance Hoping for Another chance
Reached one more time But to my dismay I'd finally been Swept Away
I wrote this when I found myself in a toxic relationship that I knew was bad for me, but I loved him and didn't want to let go. But eventually, to my heart's never ceasing pain I found away to let go, and found myself to be swept away in emotions, agony, and a strange sort of relief.
