Masterpiece
Twirling shaking
Bending shaping
You are molding me into your perfect sculpture
Your masterpiece of mass proportions
Like I'm not a person
But just clay
Influential guidance gone wrong
And now it needs it be fixed
It, not she
Just something that makes you look better
The lights on the tree
A little rounder here
Chop off some there
Until I'm missing what was me
Twirling shaking
Bending shaping
Breaking
Tilting Ever So Slightly
Waking
Sometimes shaking
The feeling
Of reeling
On the edge
Of this ledge
Tilting ever so slightly
Eyes wide open
Always hoping
That you will return
The past that won't burn
This love that I feel
Anger so real
Tilting ever so slightly
Why! Why couldn't you see my pain
Before you got in the car and drove away
Just a moment before
You had said you cared and still walked out the door
Bubbling up inside me
The city I've built to hide me
Tilting ever so slightly
Maybe it is all rhetorical
This shouldn't happen to a mere mortal
Scratching at my insides
The girl who always hides
A demon being let loose
You just can't choose
It or us
Get hit by a bus
That you are driving
More time you are buying
Your sanity and mine
Tilting ever so slightly
And then one day it all comes crashing down
