Like Bullets In the Rain

I see the dotted lines The never ending road A long twisted ribbon of pain It leads me away from you I see the dotted lines Like a paint by number artist Trying desperately to cover Knowing it will never do I hate the dotted lines They penetrate my head Like bullets in the rain Distance can’t deny I sign the dotted lines The summation of our love Wiped away by pen and ink As we say goodbye

What a heartbreaking poem Mike and I can imagine signing on the dotted line to end a marriage is just like bullets in the brain - I am sure there are many that can relate to this feeling:-( hugs jan xx
