The Painful Pedestal
You’re on your own pedestal and I can’t reach out to you
You’re standing tall while others fall behind you too
Sorry if I let you down, but you rise from the ashes somehow
You ride the flames of your passion while I drown in rain anyhow
I’m the best failure you’ve ever had
You’re the worst success and it’s sad
That you had to depart from the light
You’re like a lifeguard without her might
Without you, I can’t breathe anymore
My weak lungs are enflamed and sore
The sky of rainfall collide from bitter clouds and I’m drowning in my lonesome soul
I’m confident that you’ll get out of darkness and enter the crowds of happy people
My chest is sore from a heart beating evermore —
Open up the corridor of my heart’s ability to adore you as you are
I’m trying my best to seek peaceable hope in store —
What more can you ask for? Another remedy to undo your scar?
Torn into pieces and still, I rise to meet my end once more, once more
Could’ve sworn you had me breathless against my will to the core, to the core, to the core
Trapped within this chamber of hell and I insanely call out to you in vain
You zapped the energy out of me in this cell, then I fell down the drain
No one can tell that I was a monster back then
Neither can they tell I can never be a ten again
Reminding myself of the past mistakes I’ve made
I’m sorry I threw at you so much hatred-bitter shade
Envy weighed me down till it made me feel incomplete
Now, I’m barely trying to get back on my weary feet
You held so much abominable regret and I got you so upset
I apologize for the times we accidentally or purposely met
I’ll take responsibility for my heartless actions by satisfying positivity to the max
Have mercy on me, for this pain is uncontrollable…it’s so difficult for me to relax
