Love Diminished
For you and your eyes only
For when you are alone or feeling lonely
From my heart to yours
And all it endures
My thoughts on paper because my mouth can't express the pain
It will only allow me to explain without placing blame
Held on for months at time
Trying to figure out if I'm dumb or just blind
And I've come the conclusion that I'm neither
Gullable either
Taking the back roads to avoid the front streets
Making u-turns to diminish the meets and greets
Being cautions of what or what not to say
On Sunday
The day that we exchange our boys from father to mother
One year later still dealing with third parties with one another
All is forgiven, all has been forgot
But holding on any longer I will not
