Down

Down

A Poem by Somber Eyes

Tell me, can you see me?  Tell me, do you care?
The way that you are acting is as if I was never there
But what you've never told her, what you and I both know
Is I was the one you shared your bed with not too long ago
But now, you won't even look at me, you won't look in my direction
What's the matter?  Are you scared of what you'll see in your own reflection?
You're just so scared and selfish, what did I ever see in you?
I'd like to think I'm intelligent, but I was ignorant of all the things you do
I know they say that love is blind
But that doesn't make it better
And I just wish I could rewind

The moment I first saw you, it lifted me up high
But now when I look at you, it makes me want to cry
I see you with your arm around her, whispering in her ear
And it's just another painful reminder that I'm all alone, nobody else is here
Why did I fall for your lies?  I guess I was desperate
Now, just a few years later, and I don't have anything to show for it
There's no way to get back my lost dignity
There's no way I can reclaim all the things you took from me
I know they say hearts heal in time
But that doesn't make it any easier
Now I just wish I could rewind

I'm trying not to be jaded, but everybody knows
When you've been betrayed by love, there is only one place to go

I'm falling down, down, down
I am falling fast, faster than the speed of sound
I'm falling down, down, down
Will someone be there to catch me, or will I hit the ground?

You could have spared my feelings, it could have ended another way
Instead, you left a note telling me all the things you never had the guts to say
I'm reaching out my hands, but there is nothing for me to grab onto
The only thing around me is the air I'm falling through
I close my eyes as I see the ground approaching fast
With each breath I take, I wonder if this will be my last

I'm falling down, down, down
The love we had is lost, never to be found
I'm falling down, down, down
With these chains of misery, my broken heart is bound
I'm falling down, down, down
I'm crying out for help, but no one is around
I'm falling down, down, down
Will anybody save me from all the pain you gave me?
Won't somebody save me before I hit the ground?
