GET OFF
Every time you lie to me
You die to me a little more
I bend
And calmly retrieve my hearts pieces
From the floor
Once you were my world
now; just a dark corner
I respected you
Now; I scorn you
With all your drama
How did you fall so far from grace
When once you were a god to me ?
Now fed up with all your fallacies
How could you get caught with your hands burning
Yet still deny the fire?
You're not learning
So you just keep at it
while I watch you
burn to ashes
I don't know where you went
And I don't know who this is
perhaps while I was unaware
you snuck in your representative
I can only ascertain from your actions
You haven't an ounce of remorse
When I find rest in love
Your decisions shame me
I try to work it out
But I still can't change me
I despise your foul offering of half hearted commitment
I won't pretend I agree with your position
You can do better
and I expect the best
Are you suggesting I dumb down
And come down to where you want me?
I disdain that I must disappoint
But that's not what was taught to me
If you want me
Give your heart to me
Be a part of me
Work with and not against me
Your empty promises leave me hallow and jaded
We would have made it if you were honest
But true love requires letting go of your heart
To grab hold of mine
You kept yours in your palms fisted the whole time
You weren't open to receive me
Or you wouldn't deceive me so often
Deception alienated the tender heart
The roller coaster rolled on endlessly
I had to get off
Even though it was heart wrenching
My soul was parched and needed tending
So I freed myself from bondage
Then time healed all the damage
Once I got off...
