No Turning Back

Like the swing lingering from the tree

Our past is all you can see

 

Spiraling down the winding path of insanity

An exit, you must get

Our end has far been met

 

You put kind words on paper

Even wrote them to a melody,

Filled with flash and flattery

You even say, you love me

 

Yet, this endeavor is vain

I am sad to say,

You’ve already had your day

 

No longer the same,

You wouldn’t know more than my name

 

Each day the cracks grow bigger,

The breaks stronger,

The limb weaker,

Time to cut the swing down

Before it crashes to the ground
