"Give and Take"

 

A new day...

With it...

Carries the memories...

More of the same

Changed in a way

Each step taken is a moment in learning

We are able...

Time is with us

Embracing the senses

Choices made in the making

What do we carry with us?

Self-preservation is surviving

At what point do you turn away?

When the current path continues to lead you astray

Sharp curves and dead ends...

Heavy hands filled with burden

Make the soul weep...

It's okay to say that you are not okay...

How much does one sacrifice upon the alter of love?

When is enough become too much?

The hard part comes in the knowing

A truth staring you down

You cannot heal a person who keeps using their pain as an excuse...

To repeatedly hurt you...

They burn the bridge in connection

Then ask why your hand no longer reaches out

We have the right...

To forget those who have forgotten us...

It's the attempt to manage the give and take

Because when lies dance with temptation

We realize just how much the truth gets shaded by darkness

Stealing the light of defense

Against that which has become bigger than us

Moving us beyond all care in humanity...

We come to know this...

It's about who makes the effort to stay with us...

Not who simply promised.
