Desire Hanging

I left it hanging 
Confusion too as a rope bragging
I left forward behind blank
Going forward meant going back
Uncertainty refused to slack 

Only thoughts willingly took the trip
And the dock  where my voice of reason was anchored lost the ship
Misconceptions tied to reality buried so deep 
oiling the road to nowhere agreeed to silently sip 
To sip on confusion failing to take a grip 
 The layer no one can unzip

Or rip open to uncover the sealing without attaching feelings 
then and now united and willing 
Beaten and guilty but still winning 
memories refusing  to utter the vows
Leaving the circumference of my being spinning 
Who can promise their forever 
A blouse to cover this tired smile
