Empty Space

You spend your days trying
to make yourself be
the perfect person
perfectly untouchable
you'll never get hurt
perfectly righteous
hanging on your cross
my own personal saviour
where were you when
I needed you?
the only person you let down
was the one who loved you most
Idyllic lives
we could have shared
but your purity
left me weary
my soul is tired
and I am done
the fighting is no more
but still we linger
in this dreary space
and all the space
between "you" and "me"
is an eternity
