Your relationship's a trap,
Like sand your quick foots gripped,
Like chains delaying freedom
That hold you to your crypt.
Or at least I think it shall,
If careful steps ar'n't ta'en,
Like a lion in a cage
That you right now are ma'in'.
And make it you must soon,
For feelings forced to wait
Become immersed in fear
With nerves that ants inflate
Antsy is the grin
That dawdles with the heart.
You'll sabotage your options
Before you even start.
So make your choice in haste,
Despite your drowned dismay.
To settle for this trap
Or trap yourself your way?
Again the choice is yours
To make or disregard,
But know this, future me:
Happiness is hard.
