Sometimes you're caught up in a relationship that you know is headed nowhere and you don't know what to do about it.

You offered me
The role of a god
I acted the part of a child
You gave to me
The love of the world
I just sat there and smiled
You kiss the hand that offers
Nothing that you need
You tend the fields
Though the plants have
Gone to seed
I turn to run,
As if to stay is to concede
First I'm crying, "I can't take this!"
Then I'm thanking you
For breakfast
Few complements
Have stood by my side
You wanted to be
The first one
Your confidence
Replenished my pride
But you wanted to
Outshine the sun
