Eugene Polley

Call me crazy,

call me dumb.

But recently life's been hazy,

And  I can feel my soul going numb.

You left me paralyzed

my heart on the floor.

The scars left from your surgeries

have me feeling unwhole.

You call me saying you need me

and when I say I'm here...

you call me a lying bastard

and that's my biggest fear.

That someone I care for [or did]

won't know that i'm here.

Won't know that I was in their position, once, too.

Because when the walls come closing in

and the air becomes paper thin

I'm there to bring some oxygen,

not to take my hit.

Because I've been in that room.

I know every groove.

I was alone when all I wanted was a home.

Sorry I care too much, I guess that's my fatal flaw.

Because I remember every detail that I had ever saw.

Man needs more mercy,

 

man needs more love,

man needs to realize...

That Darwin wasn't right.

Life ain't  about survival of the fittest,

it's about survival of us all.

And sometimes being left alone can cause more harm than good.
