The Top of the World
You were the answer to my prayers--
You were that which I wanted, watched for, and waited...
You seemed like you were sent from heaven itself.
You offered everything for which I yearned--
Love, affection, and all that goes with...
To have a warm pair of arms to hold me every night.
And I fell asleep in those arms--
Those same arms that promised to take me to the top of the world,
And those arms did take me...
In my sleep I felt the gentle rocking motion--
The feeling of climbing the heights of ecstacy...
Your climb to the top of the world...
You climbed to the summit of Mount Everest--
With me riding blindly on your back...
And you gently wake me and say "We're here, darling".
We had reached the top of the world,
Just as you had promised, and then the unexpected--
You push me from the summit...
You took me to the top, and you shoved me off the mountain--
And all my hopes and dreams shattered as they plunge
With me to the bottom...
But alas, I know this climb as it has happened to me
So many times before--
'Tis my reward for foolishness...
For actually thinking that hopes and dreams
are real and have a place in my life--
And that you were the one to fulfill my greatest dream of love.
