How Could You Go?

You feared your friends would leave you there.

Your angst that screamed from the depths

of your emptiness

Scared them all away.

Laughing, screaming, tumbling down

you can be such a drama queen

When they're all around.

You could never trust those boys

Who said they loved you.

When you final expressed your love to them

They just couldn't trust what you say.

Your life had been a circus

since you were very young clown.

You were made to play the fool.

But you'd do it on the high wire

Whirling, twirling, swirling, always blue.

Somehow I believed my love

Would strengthen you.

Give you stability.
