it’s not ok
this bridge between you and i
it is steeped
so that it’s easy for me
to lean down, and be a tower over you.
A tower that casts a shadow,
and is only a burden.
this tower, is my place
i built it from left over memories and mistakes
They cascade, down,
and cast that shadow in the corner of your eye.
Lord knows they have scarred both of mine,
and i can’t see.
you can climb up, oh you can
scratch your nails on the concrete
i know you have
you can climb up
and know this place as madness and awkward pride
but you know my plans are not held together,
you know my bricks are made of lies
so give me a wide, berth please,
until i’ve untied you from this mess
and let you free
it’d be easy
to break this bridge
‘tween you and me
if that was ok with you,
but it’s not,
’cause you can’t see
this tower, is my place
i built it all to be, my weaknesses keepsake
it cascades, down,
and cast that shadow in the corner of your eye,
oh sweetness, don’t you know that love is blind
i think i’ll try to turn my tower into rubble
and when the dust has fell and all has settled
i will come out from inside,
see what my heart finds.
