Vienna Teng-the tower<br>
<br>
the one who survives by making the lives<br>
of others worthwhile<br>
she's coming apart<br>
right before my eyes<br>
the one who depends on the services she renders<br>
to those who come knocking<br>
she's seeing too clearly what she can't be<br>
what understanding defies<br>
<br>
she says I need not to need<br>
or else a love with intuition<br>
someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go<br>
I need not to need<br>
I've always been the tower<br>
but now I feel like I'm the flower trying to bloom in snow<br>
<br>
she turns out the light anticipating night falling<br>
tenderly around her<br>
and watches the dusk<br>
the words won't come<br>
she carries the act so convincingly the fact is<br>
sometimes she believes it<br>
that she can be happy the way things are<br>
be happy with the things she's done<br>
<br>
reach out<br>
but hold back<br>
where is safety<br>
reach out<br>
and hold back<br>
where is the one who can change me<br>
where is the one<br>
the one<br>
the one<br>
<br>
reach out<br>
but hold back<br>
where is safety<br>
reach out<br>
and hold back<br>
where is the one who can save me<br>
where is the one<br>
the one<br>
the one
