To You

This is for you Cami because you refuse to read anything on Fictionpress and I thought you might like it. Eh well...here it goes:

Never again, never again, will I look into your eyes and see things the way I did

I'm changed for good, for better or worse, so don't try and pull me back down

I'm up in the sky, I fly, I fly

Far away from you

Your darkness, it reaches

Hitting the weak points

In the armour I've built

Just to keep you out

It creeps, and it crawls

It's silent but deadly, it would've captured us all

So far consumed, dragged into your deadly tomb

My mind was warped by your false beauty

But just in time, I saw the light

Sometimes it's better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all

But not this time

Not this time

Look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't think it's wrong

What you do

To people like me?

Torn, ripped, I cried

Forced away, just in time

I was slipping under, seeing black

Your ink stains on my brain

Even now I dread a relapse

I must keep moving, moving, moving

Faster, faster

Up, up, up

Saving myself

From you

It seemed alright at first

The deeper I got, the less I could see

What was really happening to me

I delved deeper and deeper, relying on you

You were my only source of comfort, my only source of warmth

I couldn't help it

I couldn't see

What you were doing to me

Your smoke and mirrors grabbed me

Lulled me into a false sense of security

And that's when you struck

Your deadly blow directly at my heart

But they looked and they saw

What they did might not have seemed fair

But it saved me from it all

A poisoned beauty, you sit in wait

Waiting for me

To come back, to come knock on your gate

Never again, though, never again

It hurt, and I felt it

They tore you away

It took time, but wounds heal

Never scars, never scars

Running, running, running

Reaching, reaching, reaching

Falling, falling, falling

I soar

Above you

Above this broken world

Above its evil acts

Above the sins, though I'll never be perfect

I can try, can't I?

Up above it all

Don't try to catch me

It can't be done

I'm up here now

Skipping on rainbows

Tasting the clouds

Now I am above it all

Though there you sit

Waiting, hoping, almost begging me to fall

Sometimes my mind, drifts back to that time

The dark ages of my life

I made a mistake

Or two, or three

I just hope everyone can forgive me

I got it wrong

But I'm only human

(As you can clearly see)

My mind, my will, my soul was weak

You hurt me, you turned me against all those I loved

Never again, never again

Will I fall back down that hole

The darkness, it scares me

And I live in fear

Just waiting to hear, playing it by ear

You're calling me back

With a voice, so tempting

Your darkness wraps around me

Like a warm shawl

Amidst this cold night

We call life

A sweet, hypnotizing aroma

You're practically

A brand new drug

I hold on tighter

To those I love

They pulled me

Out of your hold

And now it's my turn

To turn

And look back

Only once, only once

To look you in the eyes

And to say:

Never again
