QUICKSAND

What in the world was wrong with me?
Gave you the upper hand
Slowly I could feel the pull
I landed in quicksand. 

Not enough, I told myself
Though I loved you…. heart and soul
How could I let the likes of you
Lead me down a rabbit hole?

No chance in hell…the outcome
After weeks turned into years
I wasted time…invested in
My lonliness, my fear. 

Out of sight, out of mind
What was I thinking of?
Should have used my spidey sense
To know this wasn’t  love. 

Obsessed, needy and craving
Delusional, confused
Everyone could see that I 
Was definitely being used.

Thought that I had found the one
The one who really cared
Never thought you’d walk away
Now I’m alone and scared.

A love to last a lifetime
Just wasn’t meant to be
Up to my neck in quicksand
Need someone to rescue me.
