And Then I Wriggled Free
Hooked on love
I wept for the serenity
I felt I could no longer have
In all probability for eternity
Conspired with Cupid led
Assailants my peace of mind to steal
As disfigured on my aching bed
I bled cos the love deal
I felt I owned
Slipped through the fingers
When all at once on me it dawned
My future love metamorphosed into clinkers
I surrendered
Hoping against hope
Although my sentimental mistakes I mended and ended
With the decision I made to slip off the slippery slope
Where the love trampoline
Like a yoyo
Juggled my pin
Alongside the thaw
I wished once more to kiss
Although the wishful thinking
I dreamt I could again kiss
Left me sinking
Into a sea of the sorrow
In the chalice of pain
In the borrowed tomorrow
I could no longer gain
However hard I wept
Prayed
Dreamt and slept
As I strayed
Into a familiar quicksand
From which I couldn’t wriggle free
Until God’s hand my hand
Grasped enabling peace of mind for me once again to see.
