forever falling into me

​taken by a delicate hand; ever so soft in touch
a menace by any other name
led across a bridge of weakened glass; cracks beginning to form
broken like me
she promised we would make it; a lie like all the others
her smile masks the misery
the further I go; the less in control
giving her everything
but what she desires; I no longer own
the fracture thrives within
every step brings pain; the reminder of what not to be
of what not to feel
 
soon this bridge will fail
bury me beneath
soon this bridge will fail
help me to believe
 
we were never alone; they’ve been watching from above
my mind shatters
she will never stop needing; he benefits from situation
taking away the rest of me
vision narrows ‘til she is all I see; demons thriving in the dark
striking out in fear
a hand felt no longer; taken by another
life lost in balance
things were never true; just dreams of damned beauty
time the certain enemy
crushed by the sorrow of missed opportunity; a laugh lost to fate
forever falling into me
 
soon this bridge will fail
bury me beneath
soon this bridge will fail
help me just to breath
