The Pedestal

I pushed you just a little

And then a lot

You were there towering over me

Like a king in a Manhattan Castle

So in awe I was of the

Falseness in you

I recognized it as something

I knew

I pushed you just a little

But grabbed you back

Lose you-never I would say

You were my life-so much

I felt with you

So much as a woman I grew

I would disappear without you

For you had captured me

I was a helpless child

In your web of lies

I pushed you more this time

You almost fell

But no I saved you

Not ready yet to admit

It was not real to you at all

The time we had shared

A maze to you of reality

Blended with make believe

I grabbed the make believe

It was safe and all I ever knew

I will push you again

Someday you will fall

Crash to the floor

Off your Grand Pedestal

In pieces you will lie there

Unable to move

To repair who you are

You will no longer have me

To build you up

It will happen

I will walk away

STRONG AND FREE TO BE

ME
