"The Debt of You"

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.
