frieghtened like a feather picked hen
i stand awaiting the day of my nightmare coming true
layin awake in the middle of the night
time tickin away doom day comes

left with only one decision to make
walk away from what i love , you
i was just the moment
til the true love of your life came home

to set you free i was here holding the key
til she takes it out of my hand
now left stranded on the side of the road
she takes my life an walks into the sunset with you


to just let it go with accusations
you claim it would never be this way
but my intuition will have no other way
i can not wait for the day to arrive

packing my small heart into a suitecase
i try an carrie on with my life
so many options so many choices
but what i chose was to love you

can't imagine living to love again after this
you lay sleep next to me
as i write our goodbyes on a sheet of paper
please forgive me

as the tide comes in
i go out into the deep sea
away from all i knew an that was you
sorry i leave no notice behind

but i never asked to be the mistress

THE EVENTS OF THIS POEM ARE FICTIONAL



I do not need shine or wealth, just a pen and some paper for my health

sad, but this other side of love, the side we don't always want to know about...
is nonetheless, a love story
well done, tatalinia
