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
