Quicksand

Quicksand Written: 5-8-16 “Staring at a rose bush from a distance It’s truth hid behind its beauty Falling off a cliff, hoping you might be catched Knowing deep down, he never will His perspective on life had me falling I fell into a quicksand pit, Didn’t realize I was sinking Months went by without knowing Certain songs played strangled my brain They told me that time could solve this Curious about its purpose, yet blank stare Brain disconnected from my heart My time and feelings were swept away Broom of memories all in a picture now Thoughts of affection together would poison me Expectations of the future would shatter my heart He’s in love with someone else, Those loves songs are for a different circuit All those heart pounding moments, Were just pointless exercises on your heart Circumstances, timing, and judgement Those things will always be glued to him Take a step back, and unleash yourself There’s other dogs in the park to love”
