Crawl
Walking down an empty hall,
Only you beside me.
They say you’re great,
Only I know you
You aren’t
Half as strong
As me.
I know.
I know you.
I’m crawling towards
The thing I love,
The light.
You’re striding forward,
Not looking down,
Not seeing who I am,
Not seeming to care.
We’re supposed to be friends.
Best friends.
But…
Who am I?
Who am I to crawl?
Who are you to stride beside me?
Why me?
Why you?
Why us together in this way?
You’re close to me.
I’m far away from you…
And don’t you know.
You don’t know me.
You think you do,
But you don’t.
Cause I’m crawling towards
The thing I love
Who I love
And who are you?
To be there,
Showing off
Saying you care
Though
You don’t show it.
Should I buy it?
Do I have to?
Do I want to?
Am I overanalyzing everything…
I’m crawling
Towards the light
And no one knows
Why
Why me?
Why you?
Why us together,
When you said before you didn’t know
Why we were friends…
I guess I’m too nice
To say no.
So why crawl beside you,
While you stride?
