Step Lightly

I fell for you like quicksand

 

Going kicking and screaming through the heart of you

 

Slipping soul deep in to the thought provoking grains of you

 

And in this world absolving love I sank

 

Drifting into the fullness of us

 

Or what I thought us was

 

Because the further I delved into you the closer I got to suffocating

 

The fullness turned to emptiness and there was no room to move

 

I ceased to exist

 

I became her

 

That girl I never wanted to be

 

But when you can't see, can't breathe, can't move

 

Hopes and wishes will leave you

 

Kicking and screaming

 

See, I fell for you like quicksand

 

At first resisting then accepting the fact that I was stuck

 

Caught up in the muk of we

 

And if you ask me, we were never meant to be

 

A couple forged by fate

 

To teach a lesson like burning stoves

 

You left me with scars too deep to see

 

But I learned from you

 

Learned to trap and flow

 

Like quicksand
