It took months to build And only seconds to knock down Weeks of tiptoeing around Because you can't stand the sound The floor makes when my footsteps hit Slightly too hard and so bit By bit I disappear into the background While trying to keep my head afloat Because while the boat Slowly sinks I don't know what to start think ing about how we Work. You love me, You love me not; I always thought This would end One day Because you know friends Usually have more to say To each other But one day passes, another Goes past And I thought that the house was glass But even to those I hold dear It seems that my words were never clear.
