Tightrope


How many times did I turn you 
away?
How many ways did you ask me to 
stay?
How long did it take me to come to my 
senses?
Too long, I daresay. Too long to 
mention.
How far back does this pattern go in your 
recollection?
How much will it cost us to maintain this high
tension?

Breaking the Cycle


A charmer.
That's what you are.
The way the words roll like diamonds
Off your silver tongue,
It's hard to trace the end
Back to where you begun.

All I know is 
You got a way about you
That makes it hard to even doubt you.
You walk with the confidence of one who knows up front
That their lips have the power 
To give them everything they want.

 You enchant all the women
And bedazzle the men
Everywhere you go,
From sunup to day's end.

It may sound like I'm jealous
But I ain't tryin to throw shade.
I know the road you walk has already been laid.

All this I've known 
And yet I've learnt more,
But at this point, one thing is for sure:

You did a lot of damage; 
Left me nothing but rage.
And today I realise that this cycle's gotta change.

So, I'm taking a time out and I'm not gonna pretend.
It'll be a little while til I'm back on the mend.
That's why I can never let you in again.
It's been a nice ride but this is the end.
