Your Pedestal

I sat on your pedestal waiting

Keeping it safe while you're gone

So high was its glory, my skin of milk white 

Was scorched by the heat of the sun 

Nobody noticed me waiting

They walked by without any care

Yet they'd have all stopped if i wasn't up here

And you were the one sitting there

I never intended to trade you

I thought i was being a friend  

But where are you now when i need your return

So I am then free to descend

The seasons have changed since you left me

The tides turned to salt from my tears 

And yet i remain here just waiting

Your promise of days became years
