You

With naive eyes I saw you as my freedom

In reality, you weighed me down

Allusions filled my thoughts of you

 

You’ve managed to create something,

So beautiful and strong yet so delicate

How could I have let you do this to me?

 

Something new within me,

Something never before experience

And I’ve managed to hate it

 

I dream with love and fear

Fear masked with the thought of you

How could I have let that side win?

 

Something is wrong with me

I’m lost in my thoughts

Be sure to find me there

 

Constant battles with myself  

It seems like I’m fine but I’m not

Will you save me from my doubt?

 

I wish I could say it was bitter sweet

But it was only a wave of pain

Now I carry a scar from your love

 

Time to set these butterflies free

Along with the memory of you
