"Last Place"

The man I was sure
You'd aspire to be
Is just a mirage
Laughing back at me

When the chips came down,
You dropped the ball
And ran from the duty
While I bared it all

The sad part of this,
Is deep down, my heart frowned,
Who you are and who I wanted
Shatter to the ground

Because the man I knew you could be
Couldn't be that man for me,
Broken promises and cracked glass,
You'll always finish last.

It's sad it's always the people we depend on the most that let us down at the worst times. I've had friends who I thought were better than what they turned out to be. It's a terrible feeling believe me I know when you see that person , and you realize it's not that they've fallen but that who they were in your mind was never who they really were. But optimism , it's a gift and a curse I guess at times. I always enjoy reading your works, I need to post some of my more recent ones myself when I get the time lol. :)
