Chiasm so lost

so lost inside
carried you down the stairs
though you weren't really there
or self-aware
it always breaks apart as soon as there's a start
to mend your heart
this gruesome circumstance
destroys what creates chance
another glance
what makes us fall apart in love
so lost inside
i waited there outside
without a sense of pride
no place to hide
no sense of self-control
i had nowhere to go
so i was told
no reason to defend someone i found a friend
i can't pretend
it makes us fall apart in love
