Don't

The danger is so real And these thoughts you have, alarming You say that you find yourself falling back Falling back into what was... I see it as quicksand, covered over by pretty flowers And, yes, those flowers smell oh-so-sweet With their colors bright and perfect But, underneath it all is the quicksand So, if you venture off to pick those flowers You will fall into the quicksand... And that feeling will return, the one you have tried so hard to forget Where you feel that you are being pulled down, and you can't find solid ground You remember that feeling? Only it's memory can wake you from this sleep... There is nothing for you in his arms, but sweet promises Promises that seem empty, their very nature, hollow You cannot go back... I know it is hard to turn away, but you must do it You must look away... Don't trap yourself, again...into those days of waiting Waiting for those moments, so few and far between Because it truly isn't worth it, and it isn't what you deserve So, breath deeply, and shake those clouds from your head Open your eyes, and see things crystal clear You know what you must do, now, swallow that fear Summon your strength, from deep within Let go of him, don't go back to what has been... *************************Don't Do It!!!************************
