Pedestal

You've placed me on a pedestal.
Against my will you've
trapped me, like a princess
high up in this tower.
You guard me like a vicious,
fire breathing dragon.
So angry that I cannot
live up to the expectations
you set, so unrealistic.

Afraid of heights, yet, I still attempt
to make my way down to solid ground.
There was a time all I wanted
was to be a constant at your side,
but now I long for a day
where I no longer reside
neither in your vicinity, nor your mind.
