Living with such intensity
Putting myself out there for all the world to see
Roads paved with mock~able beta men
Passively addressing leaving me to remember when
How I craved the sternness and power under Your control
The subtle consensual exchange as we began to grow
A glance over my shoulder not a single moment of regret
Carefully selected by You made me never to forget
Just sitting there approached from everywhere I turn
My head fully aware that my heart stings from the burn
Dance with this one and from that one accept another drink
Don’t get so close stop touching me please I am on the brink
They all feel so wrong knowing what they are after
I am not for them this feels like a cruel joke but I’ve yet to hear the laughter
Days are fading into night plans we made coming up fast
Distracting myself from disbelief that we were not to last
My thoughts interrupted by an inquisitive friend wanting simply just to know
“where’s your man” the quiet words whispered from my lips “He let me go”
Not knowing what to say he shook his head with charm
followed with an “I’m so sorry” and a gentle caress upon my arm
We had become iconic Daddy and me in our tiny little town
People taking comfort seeing us around
“You always looked so happy” more soothing words they say
“I thought we were” is all I reply “but here we are today”
Stop dwelling my head tells my heart
How can we heal and move on while we remain torn apart
I’ll get there when I’m ready to stop bathing in the sorrow
I know there has to be a joyful and brighter tomorrow
Life keeps on turning with the kindness of others who mean well
Continued reminders of what once was now only time will tell
You always seemingly knew what was for the best
This time a standing ovation putting us to rest
Now the silent promise to Yourself keep a safe distance so not to stumble
Severed and all alone assuring us not to crumble
No one seems to understand the ache I bear within
Desperately wanting to lunge me forward to begin anew once again
As Daddy already declared that time is all that can fill
The broken-hearted emptiness but for now time is standing still
