Climbing Mountains

Here we are standing on a mountain top looking down

Were on the edge nothing more than going down is left

We gaze out at the world seeing a similar view

For some reason we can not remember how we got here

We climbed the mountain together that’s a given

We took the steps alone

Noticing different things along the way

We extended hands helping one another up the cliff

We can remember certain moments that were special

The ones we felt went unnoticed by the other

All these thoughts racing through our minds

As we get closer to the edge

If you were to fall I would grab a hold of you and never let go

Even if it meant downward we would both go

Unfortunately, you don’t feel the same

You even pushed me over the edge

The entire fall down, my heart was broken

I was not sure if I would live

Even though you pushed me

I felt it was something that I did

However, I cannot blame myself for the things you did

I am still falling and I know

Eventually, I will have to brace myself

I just wish you were there to catch me when I hit the ground

Unfortanetly, it is all my fault you pushed me down

A top the mountain that is your thoughts

As you watch me go down

Throwing rocks while I’m falling

Like the uncertainty of life to come is not enough

The thing is I’ve climb that mountain several times before

With people just like you

Who looked for me to help them make it up

Once, we got there they did the same thing you did

I came prepared this time

The string I am about to pull will open up a parachute

Gliding me to the bottom nice and safely

I knew I would live to get back up

To climb that mountain again

You chose to push me over the edge

I am not perfect by any means

However, look back over our climb

See it was me

The only person who believed in you

I pushed you up that mountain when you wanted to quit

Even when you abandoned life, lied to me and went another route

There I was chasing you up that cliff

Never did I quit

I just was not the one you wanted to be standing up there with

Now I sit back at the bottom

Waiting for someone to climb this mountain with
