I must say thanks to you
For grabbing my hand
And pulling me away.

For I was walking on unstable ground
Closer and closer to where he lurked
In his secret pit.

He covered the pit with flowers of raw emotion
Which pulled me in.
As well as leaves of complete remorse
For me and my problems.

But I didn’t see
And I didn’t know
Of what was hidden deep beneath
The innocent leaves and flowers.

But you saw beneath it all
And you cried out for me to stop.
I didn’t hear you.

I kept falling under his mind games
Toying with my emotions
Until it felt like I felt for him
Like he felt for me.

Soon you couldn’t take it
How close I was to falling.
Falling into his little trap
Into the pit of no return.

So you did better and took my hand
Made my heart jump the way you do.
Got my attention
And showed me the truth.

You showed me how
My foot was about to step
Into the pit of his.

I understood.
And I thank you.
