New Tide

I was on a roller coaster
and didn’t like the ride
the things that hurt me
went deeper than my pride

no one was listening
to the screams of my plea
a life of your own
left me alone with me

needed to depend on you
but no one was there
just empty house
four walls to stare

you lived under the cover
of love unconditional
but your love for me
was so transitional

so I drowned you
in a sea of forgiveness
never once did you apologize
taking advantage of all I missed

but…new winds
have blown across the sea
there is a new tide
and it has changed me

"I have already paid for all my future sins."  Sade...(King of Sorrow)

This is a most beautiful writing, touched me it did. Especially the above verse.

I also have seen the new tide, and it has also changed me... Thank you for this...

Changes, I have made a lot of those in the past ten months, and what a rush! The funny thing is with change comes understanding of yourself, you see a new side of yourself, something I encourage for people to do, even if sadness isnt a factor in life, ever changing of who we are can be very rewarding. lol sorry, not only am I in a nutty mood, I find myself talking with my heart today. Very beautiful write! Deeply felt (if you cant tell) hehe

Alone in the dark, through my thoughts comfort I do seek, through my words I find peace.
