compromise

Compromise,
Slipping away.
Behind my eyes
I am afraid.

Am I finding common ground
Or being swayed?

Your influence
Undeniable,
Trying to regain control.

It's all been in my hands
Right from the start,
But what the hands do
Comes right from the heart.

And that's where you are.

Compromise,
Slipping away,
As who I am
Begins to fade.

These things I didn't think
You could invade-

I was wrong.

Your influence
Unshakable.
I've never had control at all.

But it's all been in my hands
Right from the start,
So now these consequences
Are my fault.

I was wrong
To let you in.
