Quicksand

“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”
