Living all alone, I was happy to connect with anyone.
I closed my eye, gave him my hand,
Didnāt realize I was under a spell.
A grain for my heart, but double the pain for a mistake.
Shame and hate for each heartbreak.
My soul was shattered from his plagues,
But he was the only one whoāve let me in.
I was alright with it, kept the bleeding within,
I fought for him more than I did for me.
And he still left, without a word,
I tried to reach him, but I was just ignored.
I just wanted to understand what
Did I do wrong again, that he got shut.
Used, heartbroken and alone -
Was how he left me on my own.
For years I thought the problem was me all along.
--
And then you came, you let me in.
I knocked so quietly, but you still heard
The sound of a deep ocean covered in pain.
You had someone to love, and yet,
Still found a place for me to sit.
You set your boundaries, and it was ok,
I was happy to find someone to love, and love me back.
My pain⦠you took it with respect,
You didnāt laugh at it or backed.
When stepped into my wounds, you stopped.
āI donāt want to make you feel painā
And handed me a cure.
You know the words to say and when,
Sometimes Iām afraid to trust you,
Because of the past events.
I hope Iām not again under that spell,
Iāll bet all in, believing it is love.
