Edges Of You

I will squish and squash and stuff you to be,

the definition of living vicariously.

Cuz what happens for you

may as well as be me.

The cleverest trick this vicariously.

When you look in the mirror

Don’t you see me?

Those edges of you

that haunt into me.

My smile is yours but it’s smeared with regret.

The shines gone from my song. I’m a silent duet.

But I want what I want. And you’ll get what I let. 

I’m bequeathing to you this weight of my debt?

For the promise of me

was a short song of woe.

Til I pinned it to you

this debt that I owe.

I will be a big star

You’ll all know my name.

Nevermind that it’s yours

cause we both are the same.

Right?

Hold hold hold

my cold smile.

Then off on my own

to cry for a while.
