Tied Up With You

You gave me some time When you said you’d be mine But it wasn’t enough Kept my heart on your cuff You traveled around For your job town to town You’d send out a text And I’d wait for the next They came once a day Asked how and said hey They seemed nice enough But I needed your touch You promised me the world One day I’d be your girl Just one more time To work in the mines Sent me a ring So I’d wear your bling Said I want all to know That it’s not just for show They won’t be mistaken When they see you are taken I put it on Said I’d carry on And sit here for you My love it is true But day after day There was a delay How long do I wait I pondered my fate When would you come through To this promised life anew I felt alone And worried by the phone Then there were days That past by in haze I stopped counting My face started frowning I no longer felt happy I missed your fun laughter You said maybe sooner Worked hard for our future Months they went by I then started to cry I can’t go on like this Do you remember my kiss? My soft warm embrace When you left in such haste Am I important? Will you call in the morning? Don’t know what to do My dreams include you Do I wait or I go? I need to know! Is your heart also blue? Like mine missing you? Are you consumed by your job? My youth you will rob Some nights I just sob My heart how it throbs Or do you hide? Won’t you come to my side? I sit here too long I feel so forlorn My love I can’t take Time for me please make You just got quiet Said we’d meet at the Hyatt How long till that time You couldn’t reply But I’m counting on you Please don’t be blue All will be better When we are together So here I am My heart in a pen Tied up with you And longing for truth Written 01/02/21 1AM
