Watch me fall

Stephanie Showers

********************************

One step forward a few more back

Now I'm faced with what I lack

One or two interactions and I can see

Once again I showed too much of me

 

Everything I wasn't meant to know

Keep yourself hidden - walk real slow

Into silence I withdraw

Watch me slip watch me fall

 

Stealth like in the face of day

You walk towards me I walk away

Share too much and you will fall

I won't answer if you call

 

Silence is golden so they say

Today's no different than yesterday

You don't understand that I see

Move on ahead and forget about me.

 

Take each day and hold it tight

Maybe you can sleep tonight

Into silence I withdraw

Watch me slip watch me fall

 

Still you stand and stare at me

But into the darkness I will flee

I stand alone and that's just fine

The reflection in the mirror is still mine

 

I hold myself accountable for that

Your world is round mine is flat

So into silence I withdraw

Watch me slip watch me fall
