Reality

You fell in love with a man who loves himself more
Your patience tested at his demand
Sacrifices that were made took everything from you
No heart to shoulder, no lungs to breath in new hope
Living an unsaturated commitment on a short leash
Broken and burdened you are no longer yours, owned at a costly price
Always looking over your shoulder, expecting the worst to occur
Trapped by fear and unable to escape
Your shallow mind playing tricks on you
You love him too much to let him go
Time eats at you like a cancer growing
Bending a little to test the boundaries, thinking you have slight control
When really unhappiness becomes you 
You don’t even know yourself! The mirror lies to you
The games that were played are no longer entertaining
You are too strong of a person to let this destroy you
I can’t be your tool to scream
But I am the voice calling out to you!
Here is my hand I am offering you a taste, a touch, a glance of much better things
Will you run away with me? or continue to wear the shackles you’ve learned to love?

Baby, stress is the anchor that holds you, for you thought there was no way out

Where there are no doors or windows to crawl through, make your own exit
Knock down these walls that hold solid confinement and restriction of self
I will meet you on the other side, where I can hear your heart beat racing
I will take you by the hand and show you, a place where time stands still for you and me

Across waters you have only dreamed of, a love so much refined you’d question its reality
Place your faith in mine and come with me
Let go of all that burdens you, let my love soften that once was hardened
My love for you is never ending, never changing, this is real
I am real, don’t give up on me
