a fall from grace

feel as if I am looking down the barrel of a gun

I tried to run, but I fell on my face

all the crazy things I've done

kind a like a basket case

it hurt when I fell from grace

through space in a free fall

no way to fly no way at all

the pain will never erase

when you sent me away

I spun out of control

and I lost my way

don’t need this drama; I don’t want this roll

I plummet so fast fear is the worst

all that was is now a pointed prow

how was it for you when we went in reverse

I used to be proud now I scrape and bow

I am fast approaching the ground looking down through grey sky

raped by love in a one-act play

I am biting a bullet so I don’t have to cry

final curtain call of my last day

my life turned to waste

and the salty tears I taste

seconds in haste diving headfirst

I know the hurt I feel the curse

falling in among the tear filled cloud

but all that I have felt

all that heartache and pain

still I can’t hate you at all or the cards that you dealt

I can only forgive and then forgive you again
