No one said all this was easy
I never promised you serenity.
What I offer you may take or leave behind
but I never said I wouldn’t be hard
I never said you’d love me all the time.
It’s not a love song that I write
here in these walls there is no lover’s bliss
You ask me to tell you what I know
I am not information free to give.
I must be worth more than that to you
for you to see me as I really am.
I cannot give you
that which I do not know how to give.
It was life, she fated all the
silence kept from you.
but a fear you will not understand
the reasons
the confusion
the reactions made in life
this time, if it is not you
this time if it is not you.
So either decide to go
or decide to stick it out.
but have the balls to tell me so.
does it frighten you so
that all I demand is honesty?
*** ****
You say what you cannot stand
I hear you in your complaints
but leaving is not always
You know, what I never thought of
before was life; like fate like destiny
controllers of some unknown.
one cannot own it singly.
Leaving some lover behind
I realize now, is dependent on
decisions of a “two”.
