Hidden depths

by here with u   Apr 6, 2007


The day i met you
i sat across the room from you
just to watch your face
and as you would come closer
my heart began to race
as it got later
and the tension began to rise
i wondered if i would ever know you
or if my fate was full of lies
you said it was getting late
that you would take me home
before i realized
my head had begun to roam
i watched your drunken face
and listened to your footsteps
i felt the heavy breaths
and fought against my will
i told myself
it was only the truth
but fighting for himself
i watched the cars go by
faster each time
i didn't dare to try
escaping from the climb
i waited for you to speak
scared of a stranger
that had just become so clear
i wondered what you got from this danger
as my body filled with fear
you slowed down for just a minute
and pulled into a street
it was so alone
you pulled out your seat
i watched your hand
turn the keys around
thats the last thing i remembered
before falling to the ground
running through a car park
i tried so hard to become lost
so scared of being found
i heard your voice of reason
surrounded by things that would hurt me
i ran to the thing that would eventually kill me
you touched my hand
and pulled me close
you said it was OK
this wasn't what i chose
you took me inside
and asked what was wrong
you said it was fun
that it was harmless and fine
that nothing would hurt me if you were mine
i watched your sobered face
wondering if you had lied
with no more to lose
and nothing left to hide
