Magic Gone Wrong
Spiraling - Crazy Comeback
The magic we shared
Set the night sky, ablaze
A romance, impaired
With moments, that amazed
Wrong turns, bad decisions
And the time of our lives
We were crazy in love
Clinging to crazy lies
Both wanting something
We’d long been denied
Fuck, the song lyrics sting
When it comes down to goodbye
Disappeared for awhile
Got stuck, in my head
I traveled for miles
Never leaving my bed
I'm sure there were days
some thought I was dead
Still, nobody came
not worth - checking in
I've shut all those doors
Burned a few bridges too
I couldn't take anymore
"Well, what could I Do?!"
So, alone, on my own,
I have come a long way
Not as far as I'd hoped
Maybe, I just couldn't say
I'll try something new
I have not done before
Live like there's nothing to prove
Spiraling, but - into control

Emma has already said exactly what I thought--that last line is priceless. In the beginning, I kept flashing toward Bonnie & Clyde. Then I sensed some autobiography in there. I hope that last line is where you find yourself today, Kelli.
Whoaaa, spiralling but into control! Upward instead of downward! This was awesomeeee!
That last line is gold!! Awesome stuff, Kelli!!
A lot of great lines in this one. Bittersweet, with a feeling of satisfaction at the end.
I like the positive swing at the end. Good job, Kelli!
This is masterful. And ive totally been here. Those periods of aloneness can be really wild but i think we come out stronger. Great work ✨👏🏼👏🏼
