Your Greatest Victory

Your greatest victory Was my worst defeat When you walked the high road I stumbled down the low road When you gained it all I truly lost everything You became whole And I slowly fell to pieces You have nothing but time But time for me has frozen I was just a small chapter to you But to me you're several novels You filled my days with warm rays of light But now I stand forever cast in darkness Your eyes made me feel real But now I feel plastic and fake Our time together was pleasurable But the memories are painful Wherever you walk the sun shines Wherever I walk the rain follows Your greatest victory Was my worst defeat Because you got to walk away While I could only stand and watch
