Your twenty dollar violin

Picture
You played me for a fool
But I turned the table and won
Bought your twenty dollar violin
And proved it a Stradivarius


I made mistakes
Knowing you were among them
While I was waiting for the right thing
To reveal itself to me


Knowing what you want
And grasping it between your hands
Are two different things
A goal set isn't always a goal achieved
When the bar is higher than your arms can reach


You were water
Meant to flow under the bridge
Never able to be the bridge itself
Standing solid and supportive
I let you pass unimpeded
Just to bide time


I still feel like I failed
Myself for settling
You for promising my life
And not giving it
