Ready to Love Again
I’ve been in what i thought was love
Till i finally brought my feet above
I’ve been chasing waterfalls
Ignoring rivers and lakes within reach of my eyeballs
Heard and said too many “i love you’s”
Never caught cheats despite all the clues
Forgave and got pain-amnesia
In attempt to make tough love easier
I’ve let golden opportunities pass me by
Been absent to make tears dry
Attempts to mend heartbreaks have been futile
Unbalanced like rubber shoes on new tiles
They have been here for the money
Taking at will,like men do to bees’ honey
For the end of those assassins i pray
Those snipers from miles away
I flee from their poisonous arrows
With more meanders than a dozen swallows
I pull out the daggers dented in my back
And seek directions for i have lost track
I know now,where i went wrong
Experience teaches lessons so strong
If i do get handed a map to keep
There will be no slumber or sleep
On and on,I’ll go alone up the love hill
Like a Jack only without my Jill
And if i meet cupid at the brow,rid of my pain
He’ll know that I’m ready to love again
