You are my North Star.
Like 16th century travellers you guide my decisions on which path to take.
Though sometimes I end up where I'm not supposed to be. I still rely on you.
My North Star.
I am no fool
I do not trust easy
But I let you in
Let you see the worse parts of me
Then you betrayed me
I am a fool, for
I do not trust easy
There's a really deep panic when you feel trapped, when despite your best efforts, everything around you just feels like it's doomed to fail while you desperately try to hold it all together. For the first time though, I can't find a way to run, and so I get watch...

I watch it all fall around me. You make your way to me. Pick me up. And carry me. Lifting me through the carnage and waste of my life. You make me feel safe. But I was fooled for you picked me up just to throw me down again. Falling and falling farther in despair as I recide back into myself.... knowing I will always belong here.
