pillar of support

5/11/13, 3.51am

i was always the one
lending you a shoulder to cry on
to weep on
on your worst nights

i was always the one
becoming the punching bag
because you'd always let out your anger and frustrations
on me

i was always the one who sacrificed myself
my ego
i took down my walls
just to carve a beautiful smile on your face

i was always the one
being there for you
even on days where i couldn't be there for myself
even on days where i felt like i needed
to go somewhere far, far away
far from everything

i was always the one
giving you hope
giving you courage
supporting you while you were about to stumble and fall

i ended up losing my own
and tripped on my own untied shoelaces
i fell

because you were always the one
who was never
ever

ever

there for me.
