You told me, You'd always be there for me.
Grabbed my hand, looked into my eyes, and you said "Baby I'll never be far behind"
I believed you, took a stroll down the road of intimidation, with confidence.
Believing that if I were to fall back, I'd fall back on you.
And you wouldn't let me fall.
You'd stand me back up, and stride with me.
I believed you took pride in me.
I thought you respected me, loved me, you were my knight.
I was a damsel, no longer in distress, forever grateful for you.
Thinking I'd found my one and true love.
Sending away, all those well-dressed jackals,
who came galloping to my front door for the rights to my ring finger.
You taught me, that the two vowels, U and I,
As in you and I.
Sound perfect together.
When they're working together.
Like AEIOU
But theres a reason they're so far apart from eachother.
With 11 letters in between.
11 Reasons you're not with me.
11 Reasons we were never meant to be.
U and I,
I mean You and I.
Are two seperate entities.
We're so far apart.
Just 2 vowels that were never meant to be.
Our love was like fire,
Extinguished with the taste of defeat.
I Can't believe I believed in your lies.
I looked in your eyes, and I didn't see them there.
Your so good at wearing a truthful mask.
I'll never look into those blue/green/gray puddles again.
At least not with the intentions of believing.
You made me believe In fairytales, I,
Was such a fool for believing in ties,
You said you'd always be there!
Well here I am!
Pouring my soul down the drains of life!
Where are you?!
Not in sight!
Lies.
I took a walk today, down the road of intimidation.
Saw all those lonely faces, that hated me from the beginnning.
They took advantage of your winnings.
And I fell back.
For a moment expecting you to be there.
To catch me.
Then remembering you were a liar.
And you were never there to begin with.
I was just so blinded by ecstasy.
I didn't bother turning around to make sure you were really there.
Where were you?
