the one who survives by making the lives of others worthwhile she's coming apart right before my eyes the one who depends on the services she renders to those who come knocking she's seeing too clearly what she can't be what understanding defies
she says I need not to need or else a love with intuition someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go I need not to need I've always been the tower but now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow
she turns out the light anticipating night falling tenderly around her and watches the dusk the words won't come she carries the act so convincingly the fact is sometimes she believes it that she can be happy the way things are be happy with the things she's done
The Tower, Vienna Teng
