the well
by sarahgrace

You give me something to hold onto -
just to leave me hanging here, practically free-falling down this well.
Bottomless,
so I will be falling for eternity if I let go.
But, I'm not even sure I want to hold on to your slack grip.
You're making me give it my all while you give it your nothing.

That's got to mean something,
this endless song... you sing to me
like it is some sort of lullaby,
you want to whisper in my ear so I will fall asleep..
and then you can let go.
I will be falling for life, while you stand at the top of the well watching.
