Over hoops and hurdles
Are the words that run
through my brain
Traveling in circles
Though dizzy from the
motion
Feelings and emotions
are clear and sober
I've just managed to
distance myself from everything that was us
For far to long my
heart rested in your embrace
Footsteps now have lead
me away...
I turned the anger into
forgiveness
Tears dried...
But all trust has fled
The extended handshake
of friendship comes with strings attached
Temptation is a cruel
tool used
In an effort to redeem
yourself entry into my life
The price you carry is
more than I can afford
My ledger is free and
clear
I owe you nothing...
Because more times than
enough I pulled myself apart
Ripping myself into
pieces
Trying to fit my frayed
edges into your jagged and torn limitations
Sense screamed at
reality
Love is not the cure...
Especially when someone
withdrawals over and over gain
It leaves you with
nothing
And still...
Here you be, like all
the times before
Standing in front of
me, asking for more than one can give
You took my to the
brink of bankruptcy once...
For what?
To make yourself feel
everything and I feel nothing?
This is the lesson I've
learned
I am free from the debt
of you
I wish you well
But here is where I
pass you by upon the path of life
I in my direction and
you in yours
I am glad you have
found happiness and peace
I am...
But that is as far as I
come.
