Playing grown ups.

By Malice In Wonderland

I'm too old for this.


Too set in my ways
And stubborn
For your lack of concern

I cannot fix this
and you won't.

Even though your are
Cradling the pieces in your palms
praying they won't 
Turn to dust

And I'm low on hope
and wondering
If I can bear to watch

Because you'll either
step up
And try
Or you'll burn it all to dust
And I'm terrified to see what you choose.
