You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea. . .

i broke you,
wide open
i can still
remember the
look on your face,
was it disappointment?
i do not
really know
i only felt
your sadness,
the worry, the
guilt, yet again,
i am so sorry

i pushed too hard,
demanded too much,
i see a line
i cross it,
you tell me
your boundaries
i try and
extend it
you tell me
what you can do,
i ask for more

for a while
there i forgot
we had limits. . .

the rules
were clear,
you live by them,
i try to bend
all i can
and it is killing you,
but that's who i am
so what do
we do now?

i guess i would
just have to
take a step back,
listen to what
you have been
telling me the
whole time,

i should not
get used to you
always being there,
cause in reality,
you really can't. . .

so i wouldn't
have to shatter,
and you wouldn't
have to break some more

i have to never forget that.
