and my legs are getting weary
from treading water
in your pool of lies

I'm trying to keep my head up
to not be sucked into your undertow

but one thing I know
is that your pulling me down
binding me with invisible ties

and I'm falling under your gravity
and I'm waiting for peace

I'm waiting for release
from your chains that are keeping me
from the fear that plagues the heart of me

because I'm drowning in uncertainty
waiting for the heaviness to subside so I can breathe

because this fear that I fear
is exactly what I don't want to hear

that your arms without touch
are holding me; molding me
into someone I don't...can't want to be

but maybe that someone
is the something I need

Thanks, I just had some thoughts floating around this morning that I felt like attempting to put into words.

I do kinda like this piece. I like how it starts out kinda negative like this guy is dragging her (and by her I mean the character in this) down and ruining everything, and you think it's like a bad relationship when really it's herself not allowing herself to fall in love and finally at the end maybe opening up to it?
