The beast is crawling
Won’t let me go
Now I am falling
Am I your show?
How long can I take this?
How long must I wait
How long ‘til it leaves me
In a comatose state.
I breathe in the water
I take in no air
My life has been altered
I am not spared
The beast is now laughing
It tears me apart
It leaves me in anguish
With a broken heart
This is my story
Tis sad but true
The bad part is
It’s all about you!
The one I had loved
The one I did trust
You laughed at my love
And left me crushed
So leave me now
Just leave me be
Take this pain
And set me free

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
