My Place

Because it's not my place to check up on you.

Because it's not my place to make you happy.

Because it's not my place to drag you out of that dark hole.

Because it's not my place to give you unconditional love.

Because it's not my place to please you.

Because it's not my place to watch you grow.

Because it's not my place to hear your laugh or moans.

Because it's not my place to drive you crazy.

Because it's not my place to tell you how bad my day was.

Because it's not my place to ask you for help.

Because it's not my place to hold your hand in traffic.

Because it's not my place to hug you and tell you it's okay.

Because it's not my place anymore.

Not because I don't love you,

But because I can't love you for it is not my place.
