The Delineation of a Tragic Relationship
I tie my hair and the mirror up and put on half a bottle of perfume cause I know you'll complain about the stench I exhibit when I come down stairs
there's not much here for me anymore ever since you started talking and talking and talking about me
what I can't and how I can't do anything in this life
so I move away in my mind and tell myself to pay no mind to the attention you demand from me
yet your words still affect me like a blade to an apple
crisp sweet juice dripping from the cut relentlessly spilling out
the prominent slice sound of the hard exterior being cut with no second thought
that apple will never be looked at as it once was
Every single one of my dreams and goals to you seems to be a waste of time and energy
not that you think even if I put time and energy they would come to life
your plans for me require the same steps as my plans for myself
I cannot take those steps
for you are right there watching me
waiting just waiting and waiting patiently
for my fall from those steps
because when you are at the top looking down at me, those stairs look like a ladder
steep, tall, scary, and the worst pain when I fall
I tell you what I'm doing
I'm not angry just incredibly annoyed to the point where I don't know what to say other to than just look at you
with no emotion just looking at you wondering where I went wrong
Later that night I close my eyes unable not exactly think straight
I get up Sunday morning bright and early and drive to San Francisco
I start walking across the Golden Gate Bridge reach the middle and look out
you know what happens next
but what would've done if you were there
when I decided to make the seemingly least important decision
