I am trying to
protect you from the demons
that are found in love.

She is holding you
down. You are letting her win.
In the end, she'll leave.

I know it is hard
to face the truth, but baby,
don't let her hurt you.

You deserve better
with your beautiful soul. She
will let you fall.

She will let you fall,
then she will kick you when you're
down on the cold ground.

With no more remorse,
she will leave you again like
she has done before.

Take a step back. Know
this is wrong. Don't hold on.
You will be just fine.

Let me protect you.
Listen to what I say. Step
away. Don't lose sight.

I know you want to
be strong, but sometimes backing
down is what is right.

Closing the door is
strong. Leave behind what makes you
weak. Look to me now.

I will love you. I
will keep you safe. I promise.
You are beautiful.
Elise
