saved myself

Betrayal by your enemies is bad, but by your friends it's even worse.

willows eyes

tears cried

stain the pavement

i cannot be more than i

expect of me;

surrender and be witness

of the rain,

pearls of heaven

dance among your heart as

readily as dew;

you'd never admit

defeat, throw

yourself into whimsy and song

at the first sign of despair �"

i'm just a stone's throw away,

skipping across the water

falling beneath the currents of

your uncertainty and distance

who will carry me?

must i always stand on my own,

never tethered by the wings

of the sea;

the ocean grants me solace i cannot

find in your arms,

but you deny truth

and spoon feed me lies you think

i want to hear �"

all virtues lost, did you 

think you'd be saved?

the glass

you stare into is cracked,

sidewalk cracks

you stepped into mirror the reflection

of what you now are; 

devoid of thought

you turn stones

of dreams we once shared,

thinking they may be good enough to pursue;

but you won't be saved

none will be �"

i've already made it to my promised land,

and i left you in the rivers of dust

where you pursued fame and glory and fortune,

and found instead a husband.
