Derail

by @Sorelle

I built you a bridge With my bare hands you torched it to ashes Just to watch it stand I gave you a map You tossed it away You cry for the road But won’t walk today I’ve seen this scene I know the score The same excuses Scattered on the floor Your story spins A revolving door You won’t pull through So why should I do what you refuse to? Keep your hollow yells And problems stacked like Dominos that never fell You beg for a lifeline While you sink I reach out my hand You let it slip I’m not your saviour Nor your saint I can’t carry all your weight You’re the villain in your tale And I won’t fix what you derail

You’ve built every bridge

Thrown every rope

And they still chose to sink
