As the night slowly gave away
to a brand new morning
my eyes opened to a
brand new beginning.
I followed my heart not my head.
I let you take over me
creeping and crawling
you drove me to the edge of madness.
As I see the reflection in the water
I look deep into these eyes
that longingly stare from within me
hoping I would wake up from this slumber.
Always putting you in-front of me,
I drew a false smile on my face
allowing you to do all that you wanted
and I never stopped you.
Now, when its time to wake up
I find myself bound tight
by your love and affection
that I thought was true.
Not wanting to be like this forever,
I cut the shackles that bound me
and broke free to live life,
as it's time to set things straight.
I have learned to give love but never to lose myself in it.
