Quicksand

I know you had love
That you think, was wasted
And you can’t look
Into my face yet
All you see is
The dark places
You never would
Never would
Visit

You took me there
You held my hand
You whispered soft
Here is where you land
But when I crashed
Through your quicksand
You let go
Of my hand

I know you have love
That you think I wasted
Threw away years
Like your ex did
But you can’t see
The dark places
You threw me into
Into
Then erased them

You took me there
You held my hand
You whispered soft
Here is where you land
But when I crashed
Through your quicksand
You let go
Of my hand

I know you want love
Not time wasted
I hope you find love
And embrace it
Don’t take her to your
Dark places
Don’t hide behind
All your faces

You took me there
You held my hand
You whispered soft
Here is where you land
But when I crashed
Through your quicksand
The place you built
Full of demands
You let go of my hand
Because I didn’t listen
To your command
So love was strained
Don’t you understand

I know you need love
We all do
And it's there, in a wild blur of
These hushed secrets
In the box where
You shoved my love

You took me there
You held my hand
You whispered soft
Here is where you land
But when I crashed
Through your quicksand
You let go
Of my hand
