As I lie in wait
bubbling over
tipping the scales
I'm ready
but for what I have no clue.

You took the part of me
that would have been so easy
to go with the flow
and it would have been the best
but you just didn't care to know.

You climb so high up
but I know you are scared
you went too far
and can't find your way back down
lucky I'm not around to fall with you.

I'm sure in your mind
the blame is put upon myself
you have been so blind
to the weight that you are carrying
that it falls on everyone around you.

I spent my time grieving your demise
you are as living as the dead
not sure how else to put it
even if part of it was up to me
I all but failed to bring you back.

That was never my responsibility
being so broken I crumbled before your eyes
needing the help you never could provide
I couldn't realize, that behind your smokey glare...

You just
weren't
there.
