it's not swinging it's falling
the way that i
thud
all the way down
i open my eyes to a new emotion
but at the core they all feel the same
i am afraid
i am angry
angry as a demon straight from hell
because i am afraid
my eyes are lit aflame
with a fire of pure rage
i am afraid of what i will do
then i fall
and i am torn into pieces
of devastating sadness
because i am afraid
you have seen my demons
will you leave me alone with them
my eyes are welling with tears
i am afraid of where you will go
and then i fall
and i am elated
my heart is more full
i am afraid it could burst
i have you
you are here
i love you
you make me so happy
you make me so full
but i am still afraid
i am still falling
where will i go
