Falling Apart To The Lion King Poem by Desiree Whitamore

so i didn't see this coming
i was sure you felt the same
how do i even look back now
and see how much we've changed?

theres a fire deep inside you
i know that theres a spark
between who i thought we used to be
and who i know we are.

i'm reaching deep inside of me
to pull this trust thing through
but to keep on being less than this
is something i just can't do.

so what if i can't yet offer
the things you need inside?
you still can't get over it
you can't subtract your pride


i know that i'm not perfect
or can never ever be
but i know that i am different
why turn away from me?

and so without persuasion
i turn away from you
to get hurt? impossible
i'll keep from hurting too

i never should've felt this
and its true, its all my fault
but i didn't know i'd fall so hard
or that i'd fall apart.
