I Fell

December 7, 2017

I fell in something I thought was love

But what we had felt nothing like the “love” I've heard of

What we had started destroying the best parts of me

And as I continue falling, my light will continue fading

Losing the light that I thought you would make brighter

I fell in something I believed was love

But then again maybe I didn’t fall, maybe I jumped right in

Like a person diving into the deep vast blue

But the ocean I’ve fallen in isn't filled by the waters of rain

It's charged by the salted waters of my newly found pain

I fell in something I named compassionate love

But now I don’t even understand why I ever did

I tried to be the light in your world, but instead you changed me

Your darkness spreaded turning my kind heart cold

Turning me into the insecure, guarded being that I am now

I fell in something that ended in heartbreak

But then again I blame myself more than I could ever blame you

Maybe I fell too hard and too easily

Maybe I was just too young and naïve

But that “love” we had is now gone

And my falling for you in now done
