Crashing Back To Where I Belong

Crashing Back To Where I Belong

A Poem by Teddybearlee

Things that should never be almost were
You slammed on the breaks and I went through the windshield
What's another day of dusting myself off
Feels like my whole life is spent trying to heal

No one is to blame for this round though
It's not like we knew our demons would bond from those chairs
You never expect the unexpected
Like what happens when a soul lays itself open bare

I saw the brick wall a million miles away
But I always thought there were a few more minutes to go
There is no other outcome with temptation
Wait, I guess the ex proved that to be a lie with their show

Maybe I should wonder what is a bruise on a break
And then question which part of me hasn't been scarred
But the clouds parted as you entered my world
As you managed to make my forever heart ache marred

I guess you saved me from being the bad guy
But I don't know how to thank you in the midst of confusion
Did I really love again and what could've been
Oh what the hell let's pour salt on this mind numbing lesion

Selfish me should be asking what about you
Are you ok?  How shaken you must be from my devil
My woman of God holding my hand
You still look like an angel, but perhaps a bit disheveled

Surely you questioned your faith as to why I appeared
As you were walking down the aisle for the first time
His timing impeccable to do that to you
But under which sign did these feelings align

But now the law has been laid down
You have awoken to realize I'm nothing more than a distraction
Forsaken in the eyes of heaven
Fallen back down to where I belong as we were gaining traction

Good bye again to heaven
Always just out of reach
One day I hope this ends
And hell runs out of lessons to teach
