My Downfall

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

If I had known six years ago
that you would be my downfall
I would have run so far away.


But you exerted that power over me,
you took hold of me and never let go
and now I am under your finger.


I can spend my days regretting
all the horrible choices I've made
or I can leave you behind today.


I can remove myself from your grasp,
erase you from my memory
and never turn back again.
