You
I loved you from a distance/I loved you up close/I loved you free of intentions/but when those drugs hit you did the most/I gave you all of me/completely let my guards down/Into me I thought you'd see/But, your words cut like swords; steadily putting me down.../I adjusted my crown/I cried in private, and smiled in public, keeping my demeanor/Trying not to show the pain dripping from my heart/Trimming the pain from my love handles so, I can appear leaner/Back at square 1/I refuse to start/No bells or whistles, no fairy tale end for me/A dark hole I'm sucked into, and I fear I will never be free.
