Turn Around

by DJ Jodie   Nov 7, 2008


Sometimes you would push me so hard,
I'de just forget how to get back up
You threw at me so many questions
But my mouth was wired shut.
So you took the nearest exit,
And i was left with half a heart
They said it was just my luck
I should have known that from the start.
I begged you not to walk away that day
But your ignorance was so painful
We'de lost the ability to communicate
And you were no longer my angel.
I just couldn't look at your face
Your eyes pierced me like a blade
You locked onto me with your vision
And all my reactions were delayed
You just took my strength
And so easily it was drained
Leaving nothing but pieces
Not a hope remained.
At that point i would have sold my heart
To whoever offered the highest bid
I knew you didnt love me
And i wanted someone that did.
From there i was lifted
Transported to a brand new place
Somewhere so evil and sinister
It stole from me my grace
I was sinking into the darkness
And I had learned how to numb the hurt
Memories slowly faded
As i lay there in your dirt
I coudn't remember who i was
Or how to feel alive
Without you everything was empty
No hope for me to survive.
Your presence never faded,
And for months i cried for you,
I knew you couldn't hear me,
But what else could i do
You were the only one who held me up,
And it hurt more than words when you dropped me,
I had tried so hard to let you go,
God knows it wouldn't be that easy.
My fists were clenched tight
And my eyes had started to shut,
I held on to that one fading hope
That you would be my deepest cut
I started to get stronger,
And I put up brand new walls,
Hoping for that saviour
To come and change it all
I had stitched up all my wounds
And you were banished from my head
People told me you were alive
To me you were more than dead.
I had risen above you
My feet then touched safe ground
What we had was more than lost
And i refused to turn around.
