I met you in the forest
With the monsters and the demons
My eyes glazed over
I had no recollection of reason
You reached in my chest
And pulled out my heart
I nodded my head
Let you have your way from the start
Your words tickled my ears
With sugar sweet little lies
My voice dissolved
With each tear I denied
You didn’t break me
I was always rooted down
Trying to escape
My branches spread far and out
I needed you so I could shut off my mind
You needed me so you could feel less unkind
You didn’t break me
I was always rooted down
I swallowed all your insults
Then spit them back one by one
With one hand on my waistline
You squeezed my worries
Until they were numb
You raised your lip
And bit into me
I gave you my blood
Not even knowing I could bleed
Your words became my thoughts
In quick precious time
My heart sunk into yours without me knowing it was mine
You didn't break me
I was always rooted down
Trying to escape
My branches spread far and out
I needed you so I could shut off my mind
You needed me so you could feel less unkind
You didn't break me
I was always rooted down
I fell in deep
I was drowning
As I struggled toward the earth beneath
I reached up and saved the last living part of me
You didn't break me
I was always rooted down
Trying to escape
My branches spread far and out
I needed you so I could shut off my mind
You needed me so you could feel less unkind
You didn't break me
I was always rooted down
