from my eyes

what a twisted feeling,

when the whole world rests neatly on your shoulders only to come

crashing down

knocking into your elbows and knees on its path to the floor.

I remember when you were as tall as my knees,

and looking at you from my spot in the clouds was like a giant with the

split

second

choice, of destruction or comfort.

and every time, I lifted you up,

just high enough, to touch the ceiling, to show you my throne on the top of this mountain

where I get to see you from afar.

my visits to you are nothing more than the journey of a man

on his way up and down mt everest

bottles littering my path like mountaineer camps, or

memories

or maybe they're just bottles, and maybe those bottles are the very things that make

this mountain so hard to climb

it has been a few years since I've left my mountain,

I'll stay up here now.

Now you reach past my knees, and you don't need my help to touch the ceiling

and my world sits softly by the legs of my throne, but my shoulders somehow feel

heavier.
