As You Fall 2022 Rewrite
You were
A pointless
Lover
Someone who got
Used to
Being behind bars
You tried to get in
My door
I should’ve locked it
But my mind
Was scratching
At your flaws
I thought
You were
Safe
Your smile
Locked me in
And I forgot why
Why you were
Behind bars
For all these years
You walked in my door
Your “hello”
barely sent
My heart was dying
Trying to live
In your world which is so broken
Made me forget
How to to breathe
Every time your lips touched mine
My thoughts went numb
Senses to break away
Just wasn’t enough
I swore to love you
Like you swore
Back to me
I thought love was this
For once
It felt real
I forgave your sins
Your busted lip
The scars on your hands
The blood that
Punched
The concrete
From running
With drugs
Cigarettes destroying your lungs
Swore to give them up
For the high
Of my gentle touch
Thought you would’ve
Stayed
A long while
But prison
Is
your wife
I wish you two
A life
Of misery
For tearing me apart
When you were
The one who sewed me back together
My bones are yours
Your kiss
Delivered blood in my veins
I came to see
Your world
Within my eyes
Your father
Was a drinker
You believed in that same path
You laughed
At his lack
Of feel
No direction
Of life
In your head
You’re stuck
In this dirt
Dug yourself so deep
When I
Needed
You the most
I tried tying you
To me
But you were never with me enough
To get a taste
Of beauty
Or the life I lead
But just sleep darling
The walls
Now surround you
One window for you
To look out
And wonder
Why your choices
Tear apart the people
Who meant the most to you
Who would’ve fought
The entire world
Just to love you for eternity
