Bundle of Nerves

Not what it seems.

Damn me for all my bad choices.

I have spun wheels so long they dug trenches 

What get rich scheme will get me rich quick?

No future in all the games I play.

8.50 an hour at 20 hours a week

No vacation.

No medical.

No surprise.

Bills piled high. 

Poor health.

No kids.

But...

You.

You make it all worth it.

Because everyday you are you. 

I only get one of these lives and for 15 years I've been with you.

You have been by my side.

Through thick and thin.

Though good and bad.

There you are.

So let the s**t hit the fan.

Let the tears fall. 

Because nothing can take what you have given me.

Hope.

Undiluted, pure and innocent, hope.
