Time To Grow Up, Time To Let Go

A no brainer, my darling, to continue playing games Steaming hot one moment, next moment blowing cold As though cold water couldn’t quench love flames When like a rogue driver brave braking action you withhold Hoping a head on collision you can so prevent With your eyes closed and bullying tactics pushed forward To actualize an evolutionary event In which we reap our fair reward But for the umpteenth time We run round and round in sterile circles Aiming for progress only to mime an irrelevant rhyme Expecting to work miracles In scenarios you poison On purpose As I shout ‘treason’ From the servile source You glorify In earnestness Only to magnify and stupefy The sadness That drowns my wonderful world in a sea of sorrow Without any relief Yesterday, today or tomorrow As your mischief Heightens my determination once and for all To brighten up prospects for joy To return to you and I despite the fall From grace which at our expense debacles enjoy Unless either you and I decree it’s time to let go Or it’s high time we grew up Escapades, futilities, fantasies and failures to forgo To gulp good tidings from our lofty love cup.
