The Ties That Bind

Folder: 
The Mushy Stuff

When I was young I always wondered if dreams came true.

I believed that out of hope a tiny wish grew.

But Lately,I've seen more gray skies than blue.

I wonder if you've ever felt the same way too.

I use to smile when I pray,and out ofm rainclouds dawned a brighter day.

It was always easier when one plus one equalled two.

It's like the only person that knows where I'm coming from is you.



Wise men say only fools rush in,but is it a sin to involve your heart before your head?

I dread the pain of falling in love again,having to defend the reasons you can't see past his lies.

When was the last time tears helped to ease the pain?

How many times will he explain?

And why in the hell does he whisper when he answers his phone?

Who ever thought you'd be alone when you're suppose to be in love.

Above all others he should chooseme,how could he not be faithful to someone so grand?

It's hard to demand respect when you're use to utter neglect.

Why check him now when you never have in the past, might as well forget about making this shit last.

And grasp the concept, of being without companionship, I'm lost in this relationship, and like Waldo I'm hard to find.

Let's severe the years and the ties that bind.

This is an emotional piece that I am definitely feelin, I have been there and have had to sever ties to a relationship that could no longer move forward, and therefore, had come to it's end~ It was painful and of course, didn't end right away, but after many teary phone calls and lonely nights, we both knew that it had to be done, and now if I run into him, we hug and have a bond of friendship, but that's it, and at least we got past the hate and found people who compliment us better and who we are happy with~ Good Luck Sweetie!!!!
