Am I a runner or a fighter?
Truly a dilemma
Stay and fight and risk destruction
Run away and never know what might have been

So tired of fighting myself and my circumstances
Not knowing how much longer I can wait for a change
Hoping for something that seems to be fading
While certain pain lurks, waiting to pounce

Letting go, yeah I don't do that well
I can talk the talk but when it comes to my heart
I fail miserably to achieve the walk
So here I sit again, alone and broken

All the begging, threatening, praying
Wasted on the deaf ears of addiction
Ultimatums avail me nothing
Simply push this further away
Wasted time and tears overwhelm me
My words speak of strength and independence
Yet my heart cries in denial at the indifference
And still I wait, for what?

Changes I made to better myself
Have created a distance between us
I can’t go back to meet you there
You won’t come up to meet me here

So we are at an impasse
And I fear that the path you travel
Will destroy you forever
Taking your life and light from this world

And with that tragic loss
All I once dreamed of
All I once prayed for
Will be forever destroyed along with you

If the words will not come
If all you feel is confused
It is not your mind that fails
Rather that you need a new muse!

Love and Ligh
