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
