AS SURE AS

Heartaches left me scarred

The past is never too far

Hiding my feelings only twist them about

As they try to force their way out

Swing from mood to mood with much commotion

I have an alarming lack of control over my emotions

Keep my eyes open for what seems amiss

Stop looking for what doesn't exist

Won't put my feelings on parade

Too often have I been betrayed

My heart ultimately accepts

What intuition initially rejects

Find patience so I might

Hold out for something right

Rather then right now

More wrong if I allow

Variety isn't always the spice

I've gone back to familiar more then twice

Much to easy to embrace

But oh the time I waste

Habits are hard to break

You're the worst kind to shake

Broken links from less then satisfaction

My restlessness could start a chain reaction

At some point I can't take anymore

So I keep one hand on the door

I hope for some kind of connection

What I got was entirely unexpected

As sure as everything I've done wrong

Somewhere I find strength to stay strong

As sure as the trust that's been taken

Still I endure remain just a bit shaken

As sure as the confidence I'll get back

Just as sure as you'll never take that
