I stepped up .... I disembarked

Round and round in circles

 

Trapped within our vibe

 

Never knowing what is real

 

I need to unsubscribe

 

But … how to go about it?

 

De-tangle from our mess

 

Eradicate The Cavalier … swamped in our sweet caress?

 

I don’t think that that’s the answer

 

I want the onus just on me

 

Otherwise …

 

I won’t progress … to a functional degree

 

That old fickle finger of fate

 

Ensnared me in its womb

 

Life passed by

 

Clipped wings did sigh

 

I never stopped to question

 

“WHY?”

 

Now my pain is open wide

 

I need to lay me down to die

 

*Softly

 

Softly

 

Softly*

 

Teeth clench around our cord

 

Extraction of my sanity

 

Will be my just reward

 

And

 

As I watch you whither

 

Stumble

 

Blinded in the dark

 

I’ll know the futures rosy

 

Because …

 

**I stepped up

 

I

 

Disembarked**
