Outsider

 

you keep me on the outside
looking into your world
when will i be allowed
to stop this maddening swirl

you take me to the sky
just to watch me fall back down
without a safety net
i tumble to the ground

you are so loving
but yet can be ice cold
my mind is a muddled mess
with nothing to grasp and hold

it seems you take pleasure
in this perverse game you play
you have to win every match
just for good measure


so i stand here and wait
for the next whisper you breathe
bowing at the throne of you
to kiss your golden feet
