I Guess I Missed That Part Of The Contract

Now just let me fast forward a few years or so

Then I could say what happened now was so long ago

What world do we live in when the happiness isn't your own?

I guess it's just my world and it's my world alone

I feel like I could die without it

But all I can do is cry about it

A break in the cycle, a change in the wind

Something else besides what's always been

Even when it's over, I don't feel any better

The more you try to forget

The clearer you remember

I don't know where things went downhill

All I know is that they have

You love me more than anyone will

And I shouldn't have let it get that bad

Everyone likes having options to choose from

I threw mine all away for you

You thought you were the lucky one

But I never really wanted to

Freedom ain't so sweet when it costs an innocent heart

Either way I knew this fate we would eventually meet

And I had forseen it at the end of our start

That love will always be a double defeat

I'll always be the bad guy

No matter what I say or do

Even long after you're gone

You'll remind me that I'm wrong

Forever controlling my life

'Cause it revolves around you

I could write a thousand pages

And it wouldn't sum it up

I'll be waiting for the final stages

Where the going's not as rough

I just know it's time to go

I've finally had enough

I hope you kicked the b*****d in the groin for the this . . . he certainly deserved it

[Orlando Furioso]

The last two verses are my faves. It reminds me of that old Stranglers line 'If I go there will be trouble, if I stay it will be double.' Such is life.

[Coyote Poetry]

When it is time to scape. Best listen to your mind and run. I like the thoughts and conflict in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
