I tried to get back up off the ground
But I couldn’t get my footing right'
My knees were too weak
My ankles they cracked under the weight of the pain
I held my breath and you held my hand and that is when I realized that I never really had you
You never really loved me
Because you could only hold on for so long
At some point you had to let me fall
And I fell for centuries through the darkness
I never really saw that I could catch myself
I never really realized that I can save myself
The words they circled through my mind like vultures
They picked and pecked at my dead flesh
