I look to the right
There’s a fight
She can’t see the light
Refuses to let go
Tells me she’s taking it slow
It’s a sweet poison
Noxious
I have to be cautious
She’s crying
Tired of trying
Why does he keep lying?
I look to left
He wishes he left
Feeling bereft
But can’t give up
It’s a bittersweet half-full cup
Of emotions
Going through the motions
Can’t explain why he does what he does
There’s no trust
He’s hurting her but can’t let go
He loves her so
Stuck in the middle
Like solving a riddle
Looking for strings to fiddle
How do I help?
There’s a strain in the air
They won’t listen
Tears glisten
Killing with kisses
How do I save the missus?
What can I do?
What should I say to them today?
Tired of lying
Tired of crying
Imagining flying
The spark went out
Without a shadow of doubt
It’s time to part
Unravel your fingers
The pain still lingers
But there is room to breathe
She had the courage to leave
And it made all the difference
