Now that you've made up you mind
I guess I'll be expected to comply
Like a good little girl

Lay aside my wants and needs
Blindly follow you
Accepting and docile

Just grin
and bear it
Soldier up for another go

But I know that I can't
I won't
Because I'm no soldier
and this is not army of mine

What I am
is a heart
A living breathing chance

For love
For happiness
For hope

But you've made up your mind
Effectively burned those bridges
Set this course
Manhandled
and messed about

And for what
Greener grass in another yard

so

What I am
is a missed opportunity
your living breathing regret


If I don't say it...who will?

I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really.

Wow! I love this. Sounds like something I would feel, even if I didn't know how to say it. Bless you!
