How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

Your Pedestal

Watching you fall
off the pedestal i built (you)
and pulling my heart down (too)

A shattering crash
and a mess left beneath you
you've rebounded quickly
shaking off the dust that is me
as I lie longing for you.
Unable to pull myself together
but knowing that no one else will
i fumble along incomplete.


*at a glance you seemed strong
full of wisdom and maturity
making each choice well.
and so quickly up you went.
but each step that i took
in your general (specific) direction
showed me a flaw I'd ignored.
