8/27/19
Somehow I had it figured out that
If I made it as miserable for you
As it was for me
That then I would have happiness
I stepped into the scene
Chaos in the air as
I prepared to do the deed
Metaphorically raising the axe
But then I looked into your eyes
And saw a piece of myself
How could I let that happen
To another scared soul like me?
Jealousy runs love away from me
It’s hard to want the best for others
But if I knew what I wanted
Isn’t it also what they need?
Do unto others as you
Would have them do unto you
Why does that sound so easy?
Because all I want is a friend
Truth is, I’ve learned so much
But I learned the hardest way possible
I’d rather keep it all to myself
And watch you struggle like I did
Though it makes me feel better
It can only last so long
And it always ends with everyone
Hating me as if I had swung that axe.
