Obsession
There was a time when you alone
meant everything to me,
drank from your cup and wore your shirt,
you were all I could be.
And proudly I would wave your flag,
lead battles fought for you,
I'd write your name above my own,
nothing I wouldn't do.
But I got older and I grew
out of your shirts, I tossed your crown,
I got lost on the way you chose,
you left me there, you let me down.
When something's seen and known and loved
through eyes constantly filled with tears,
it might be seen the way it is,
when lungs hurt and the makeup smears-
There was a time when this alone
meant everything to me,
but what we live for, what we love,
it might still change, and so do we.
