It was love like no other
The kind that consumes you
All of you
But in the end,
It’s the one that hurts the most
It’s like a
Push
And
P u l l
Except that now I am
Pulling away
“I’m sorry I couldn’t fix you
I tried everything in my power”
I loved you so much that it pained me
Just to see you walk away from me
I feel you pulling on my strings
Like a puppet master controlling my every move
I feel you pulling away from me
With every conversation that we have
I’m not pulling away
I’m being pushed
Like a boulder down a mountain
“You don’t love me enough to fight for me
You gave up every time”
With each conversation
That you consider an argument
There’s no effort
I am trying
Can you hear me screaming
You have me trapped
I am truly your puppet
Even Pinocchio had a better chance at escaping
I won’t let myself be one
I am now pulling away from you
This is your fault
You’re the world’s best ventriloquist
Don’t blame it on me
