How much longer do we play this game?
Love's hypocrisy drives me insane
Walking the wire held by your hands
Dancing through fire of your demands
Do you think I pause for caution's sake?
Unable to give? Destined to take?
Just one moment, see through my eyes
Choices I make unravel lives
Your heart's at stake, I understand
The pain eclipses passion's plan
To hesitate and risk losing all
Yet, would you catch me, should I fall?
So much potential you have explained
Is it more to lose or less to gain?
So, please forgive a wavering soul
For seeking that which makes it whole

Hi Sheila ...

I really enjoy this ... Very very well written.

'Your heart's at stake, I understand
The pain eclipses passion's plan
To hesitate and risk losing all
Yet, would you catch me, should I fall?
So much potential you have explained
Is it more to lose or less to gain?
So, please forgive a wavering soul
For seeking that which makes it whole'
------------------------------------------

These lines really had me ... Thanks for posting.
