I never really thought that I'd be the one to take the heap Then again I never thought you'd be the last I'd ever see I envy you in some ways Always so confident So cool and refined Don't give a care about nobody Just do what you do But every time that I fall closer to the edge I realise That you've always been the one pushing me Pushing hard against me Trying to get me to break And I would fall helplessly into your arms Fearing the day that I ever made my own decisions I listened long and hard to everybody else Good or bad Didn't matter I fell Helplessly and misguided And one of those set of arms was you Only you were the bad in any advice given Knowing full well that I fell victim to anything and anyone Now I look into the mirror and see you on the other side Clinging hopelessly to the edge that I had dangled from for all these years Reaching for my hand Yet your hand remains empty I have seemed to push you farther than I have ever been pushed Now you're sinking within all mercy Crying for my help Only this time My eyes don't soften My hand doesn't tempt to reach As I turn and walk away From a love that I never once really felt.Birth sign: Scorpio
