Written words

For so long you had my heart
I knew in the end that we'd fall apart
When you made me that promise I trusted you
Though everything i had told me not to,
He would keep me safe.
I wouldn't listen to the signs my God sent
He said with persistence "this is not my plan"
But I followed what I thought my heart wanted,
And what I knew would break me.
He would keep me safe.
I was ready for that commitment we made,
Took it day by day but you still faded away
I was blinded by the image I made of you in my head
Remembering how you held me as we laid in your bed
The feeling you gave me no one else compares
I felt you would keep me safe.
But I guess in the end I need to thank you
For proving to me something I've always known to be true
And setting me free from the prison I call you.
I never meant as much to you as you always had to me.
I thought you would keep me safe.
Perhaps we simply weren't meant to be
Or maybe we could've been just no guarantee
But now all I have are our memories
You left me searching for my own remedies
Trying to find a way to heal myself
While you have your eyes glued on someone else
You failed to keep me safe.
