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.
