Here I stand,
In the shadows,
Of your resentment and jealousy,
Towering above me,
And below me,
With roots that run so deep,
And heavy branches,
All cracking in the wind,
Threatening to crush me,
Time and time again.
My happiness,
Is a poison to you;
It eats away at you,
And makes you sick.
So you do what you can,
To reduce the dose,
Until I'll never feel,
Happy again.
You let a temporary distance,
Leave a permanent scar,
Upon your heart;
Upon my heart.
You're growing colder every day,
As I fall apart.
Returning home is,
Becoming hard.
I wish I knew what it took to calm you,
But this storm always comes back around.
With its violent winds,
The trees are swaying,
And I know that they're coming down.
May you find your peace and let go,
Of the anger that clouds your mind.
I hope to see this forest be still again,
Before we're out of time.
You let a temporary distance,
Leave a permanent scar,
Upon your heart;
Upon my heart.
You're growing colder every day,
As I fall apart.
Returning home is,
Becoming hard.
