Rowboat
I wanted to trust you
But instead I got played
I wanted to dance in solstice
Instead I feared the rain
You brought me a headstone
When I asked for a helping hand
I hoped your words were written in concrete but they were written in sand
I tried so many times to love you
Even as your demons consumed me too
I told myself we would make it through
I had been left on the island you made
Built on empty promises disguised as mistakes
