You’d rather concede
Your wants and your needs
Than to see me plainly
As you pray on your knees
There was a time
I was the love of your life
But day turned to night
Joy turned to tears I cry
I don’t see love here
You say it’s worth it
I’m not sacrificing…
My spirit for your bullshit
You want me to stand down
On the pedestal you put me on
Instead I think I’ll stay
That way you can’t reach me.
