I thought once I achieved that, my loneliness was defeated 

And here you came, I'll give you all my love, you repeated

And happy was I to be the one who received it

Your love was slow and kind

You took the time to discover all the little specs in my mind

As the seasons came and gone, we painted the sky with our bliss

You filled my days with passion, excitement, and in the evenings I was left with your kiss

You were so dear to me, so dear that I let you be my first

 I allowed you to explore my body, to quench that nagging thirst

Our bodies mangled and crashed against each other like waves during a storm

I craved the way you said you loved me and always kept me warm

 

I never realized what it meant to be your only source of happiness 

Never truly realized how much of your well being depended on my presence

Slowly the pressure of your pedestal began to tug upon the strings in my chest

So much that even you began to see a difference, I was a mess 

And then your life began to fall apart, and I saw a gleam in your eye that was my reflection

At the time I was too immature, too vain to realize what this meant

I was no longer your partner and friend, I was your obsession 

The bliss decreased, jealousy took it's place and I slowly became your possession 

 

Now I have taken the time to untangle my thoughts from yours

It was hard, like trying to distinguish snow from powdered flour 

You are your own being, as am I 

You have your own feelings, as do I 

We let love, or the fear of being alone, turn us into a two headed monster 

And I for one, am no longer letting the fear of independence foster.
