Falling Off the Deep End

...I told myself that you were off limits

I promised that I would not fall

...It's a horrible horrible scene.
Endless nightmare, in no way a dream.
At the top of my lungs I will scream.
It consumed all my self esteem.

I will dive off the deep end,
Jump in a mud puddle,

Longed for it for so long,
