Carry Me
Infatuation and attraction met,
Nights turned to days, and lies to truth.
Over the water, and under the bridge,
Down the stairs, and behind the booth.
Through the gaze of jealous eyes,
The warnings came in thick and fast.
Do this, don't do that, do as I say,
I know what's best for you, it won't last
Take no heed of the calls they make,
For this we feel, they'll never taste.
Your hand in mine, mind upon roads ahead,
Hearts combined and past lain to waste.
A tempest blows toward the sea,
The trees heave beneath the weight.
Hair once wild tamed by driving rain,
Fires of our future now dissipate.
The clouds upon which we once walked,
Talking of seeds that we'd soon plant.
Broken by the sunshine of life's reality,
Casting shadow, highlighting what we can't.
Mountains have tumbled into the dust,
Cliffs to beware now far above.
What was solid now taken wing on wind,
Broken and bruised lay our shattered love.
The memories I have of what hope had told,
Twisted and lost in a frightening dream.
You never said you could or would, or want,
For I have fallen, and you can't carry me.
