Written by Aaron Hodge
I’ve fallen victim to the sweet-sounding lies that you’ve whispered to me.
Closing my eyes for one second,
Only to find myself alone and chained to the bed I’d once found peace in.
But even during my relaxed state,
I still had an underlying sense of anxiety rushing through my body.
But like the naive fool I tend to be,
I chose to ignore my instincts and dedicated my trust to you.
Despite the tears streaming down my face,
It’s time to get back up and reclaim the control that I’ve once lost.
