Forced To Pull

What happens when you want everyone to be happy? What happens when you can only make one happy? What happens when you must hurt so many just to make one happy?
(B.B.)
I crept along the wall,
watching you at the end of the hall,
seeing the tears on the phone from that call,
knowing the reasons for the blade you would stall,

I dropped the ball . . . .
(J.P.)
You waited forever,
some people told you that I would never,
I said 1 day I’ll be yours then you said whatever,
you say you love me and show me that your clever,

I still cause your fever . . . .
(A.P.)
I told you I’d wait,
you would stay in this state,
I guess that lie was just your bait,
he holds your heart and I still have no hate,

I will find the answer in fate . . . .
(A.S.)
I'm your hero,
you looked in my eyes to tell me so,
with your heart in my hand I cannot go,
if I give you mine will you see what I couldn’t show,

You might be able to take it slow . . . .
