Frayed Twine

Frayed Twine Often, thoughts of you, as my safety net as the tight rope under foot never taught Even footing sure, cannot steady time Stretching, past memories, will balance naught Sweet solitude, I dream, I close my eyes I step away, let go, and fall for you as once before you led me straight across into your arms of warmth and trusted truth You gave to me, kind love and built me up you showed me I was strong and good enough I took your trust; I took advantage of then gave away, what you had given me Yet when I gave that love to someone new I could not give enough to feel the same like city life I'm lost in one-way streets Over-whelmed I am searching; first and main I walk along a tight rope once again I see you on the platform other side Standing, not alone, Still, I let you know But so I would not fall you threw a line You gave to me, kind love and built me up You showed me I was strong and good enough Though our line is frayed, like twine, holds a strength I will always be; Still, in love with you HBK © 2018 Jeffrey Spencer
