I Moved My World to be With You

I Moved My World to be With You

I moved my world to be with you
dismantled my life to fit into the box you put me in

I moved my pain, my sorrow, my heartache all to be in the presence of your pity

I moved my world to be with you
like a fool I packed my things and left my responsibilities behind 

I succumbed to the sweet smelling lies you hid behind the beautiful disguise you wore to cover your shame 

I stood in your shadow and even kept quiet while you painted rose colored glasses over faces that didn’t have an ounce of truth

I moved my world to be with you
blocked out the sun so it could not shine on days that you were gone

moved the moon so the stars didn’t align unless you were near

I moved my world to be with you, but my world wasn’t good enough to be included in your plans....

no my world didn’t quite match your demands
now the blood of my body is all over your hands 

I moved my world to be with you, maybe I should have left it where it was...
