Falling

October 13, 2013

I’ve found myself falling

Can’t help but worrying

That it’s happening

Too quickly

How could I not see

Myself as I begin to fall

Not sure I like it at all

My heart says one thing

My head says another.

 

I’ve found myself falling

I feel like I’m drowning

In emotions that I may be dreaming

I don’t want to wake

Can’t take the pain for sanity’s sake

The unfamiliar traps me

Keeps me from what I need to see

Listening to my heart say one thing

And my head say another. 

 

I’m falling for him

I’m right on the rim

Of loving without a care

I can’t see straight without him there

I’m losing the battle in my heart

While my head says this is just a start

I can’t help but feel

Love because he has helped me to heal

My heart, only to steal it from me

But I've fallen gladly.

 

I've fallen harder than ever before

I had no idea what was in store

when I let myself fall

given everything, my all

let my heart fly free

His love is the key

I've healed my heart, all

Because he caught me from my fall
