I watched you destroy
by destroy, i mean explode
and exploding is the easy way out.

     I'd rather burst into flames, the heroic way.

i made a puzzle out of our faces
i glued it together, i could never put your eyes together
nothing ever fit there was always a speck of something reflecting in the pupil.

     but it was never me.

i'd hold your hand
but you told me holding onto someone was needy
"you hold onto life" i said,

      or did you?

i picked up your favorite marble and threw it across the room
i watched you sit there, and stare at it rolling farther and farther away
i watched you let it go

      you'd let me go, but no one would have to throw me.


smiles are for happy people
moments are for people worth remembering
puzzles are for people with too much time

     reflections are for people who you want to see.

but it was never me.

Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making

[...a secret was concealed.]
