I held you up on this mighty pedestal The epitome of what a person should be "Always striving to do what's right" But through the surface, no one could see. But you're just like everyone else Always trying to save yourself Just talking of what's right and wrong And always saying, "I'm by myself" Dwelling on all that hurts you Self-pitying yourself into depression Professing the hero has risen from the ashes Why not just submit to a confession? How can you be such a hypocrite? Drinks and kisses and lies Of course, when I did it, it's wrong But you do it, and it's just fine. Don't tell me circumstances were different Because they were definitely the same Neither one had security or commitment But I still took the punishment and blame I held you up on this mighty pedestal The epitome of what a person should be But it took one act for you to fall And now, you get absolutely no respect from me. ------------------ Happiness is a journey.. not a destination -------823------- [This message has been edited by Star Fairy 2 (edited 10-06-1999).] |

Nicely stated Star, but that's usually what happens when we hold another up on a pedestal....they fall and when they do, the fall a long way |
