Danger

Everything about you screamed danger.

But that's what got me hooked. 

I grew up surrounded by a safety net.

Never really worried about falling, or getting hurt.

But you cut your way into my life

And at first it was blissful,

The adventure taking me by storm.

But I was so lost in the excitement of you,

That I didn't notice the scissors in your hand.

Before I knew it I was falling through my safety net,

Plummeting into a world of hurt.

I fell for you. 

But you were too busy sabotaging my net,

To catch me before I got hurt.

And here I lay, alone.

Weeping

I weep for the girl I lost in trying to love you

For loving you, meant hating myself.

I never saw the danger of giving my all,

Until I had nothing left to give anymore.

I weep for the girl you've lost.

For she would have given you the world

And asked for little in return

You never saw how hard she tried

To be enough for you while holding on herself.

I weep for us both.

For we may never find this girl again.

She still appears from time to time

But vanishes at the blink of an eye.

I weep for the love that was lost

 And the love that was yet to be found.

For we may never know

The greatness that could have come.
