You flooded my mind, and set my soul on fire.<\/p>\n
I should be drowning, but instead, I\u2019m being taken higher.<\/p>\n
To my cigarette, you were my lighter.<\/p>\n
You were the umpire to my empire,<\/p>\n
And therein lies the problem. Now here comes the rapture.<\/p>\n
I thought you were my freedom but instead you were my captor.<\/p>\n
Now here I lay captured, wrapped in your chains, but luckily now I\u2019m headed towards free reign.<\/p>\n
I cried and cried in the shower wishing for the storm to stop but now I gladly stand in and embrace the rain,<\/p>\n
I\u2019m completely unmasked and I let go of my feign.<\/p>\n
I refuse to let your toxicity run through my veins.<\/p>\n
You killed me but thankfully there\u2019s a second coming,<\/p>\n
That lines up with everything I was supposed to be becoming<\/p>\n
One that\u2019s filled with joy, peace and love,<\/p>\n
The type that could only come from up above.<\/p>\n
So now, I\u2019ll sit back and enjoy the survival of the rapture,<\/p>\n
Because at the end of it all\u2026 You were my beautiful disaster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
