I'm Not Falling Down Anymore, I'm Falling Apart

You told me to take it easy,
not be so judgemental,
live life for the fun of it.

You took me by the hand,
put your heart in it,
and told me to squeeze hard.

You held me when I cried,
gave me a couch to crash on,
and told me that it would be okay.

You led me out of the darkness,
laid your head on my chest,
and listened to what my heart said.

You pulled me to the edge,
held my hands tight,
but never gave me the chance to look down.

You controlled me,
thats what you did.

I'd gasp for air,
and you'd shush my words.

I'd reach for your hand,
and you told me to grow up.

I'd beg for your forgiveness,
and you slapped my soul.

I told you I loved you,
and you walked away.
