Falling
Each time I see your face, I'm falling,
Not off a cliff or into a river
But in love
With each sight, I'm falling

With every touch, I fall
Into a black abyss of warmth
A magical space of love
As you take my hand I am falling,

Each time I hear your voice I'm falling,
Falling to a place of safety
A place of love
With every word, I fall

As you walk through the door I'm falling,
Into your arms
Your warm embrace
At your sent, I fall

Each time my lips touch yours I'm falling,
Head over Heals
Hopelessly in love.
With each kiss, I fall

Your presence runs through each one of my senses,
through touch and taste
through sight, sound and smell
I'm Falling

You're a weird little monster sitting in my head;
you are the reason I can't get out of bed.
You make me feel lost inside
you make me feel dead.

You little monster make me hide,
Last night you were why I cried
you break me
you there just tagging along for the ride.

You depression monster never cease to be.
I hope you go so I just sit here and beg and plea.
One day I'll be rid of you
One day I will be free.

Depression you are a monster that invades lives.
But I will strive to shrink you down to size.
Bye bye dear monster
Good luck with your slow demise.
