“I’m falling… say it if it’s worth saving me…And all I need is you….” Nickleback
And so the dance begins again
The lyrics stream through my ears taking me back to yesterday
While my mind takes me back to last night’s conversation
Somehow they are one and the same
This pattern repeats over and over and over
That gossamer tentacle so oft written about
Truly does exist
We are tied together for eternity by a bond
That no one else will ever understand
You know me completely: the good, the bad, the narcissistic
You are the mirror to my soul
And when I need to be reminded, you are there
To peel back the layers, until I stand in the
Full authenticity that only you and I know
And in turn I view you through clear lenses
Am I the only one to know that you are spiraling downward?
Choosing a different method this time to dull the pain in your being
I heard you whisper the words “this is complicated”
And damn it, you are right
You, my friend, are slowly killing yourself
Is this another test of how far I can go to save a soul?
