How is it someone stumbles into our lives
And bumbles us into love when deep inside
We know it’s all wrong, this relationship
Is long on dreams that don’t belong to us?
And why is it we ignore proof of the truth
That friends and family beg us to realize
And not trivialize? They can see the tree
Is so gnarled and poisoned, and so can we,
So why is it we continue on with such glee
As if the tree were so magnificent with no
Deficit, and even sibilate when confronted
With the truth? Oh, how is it we get caught
In a web of deception without any reception
Of real love, and then try to beguile others
With our smile, pretending that everything
Is grand and dandy, when inside we’ve lost
Our heart and the better part of that life
We used to live? And why do we try so hard
To make that stumbling, bumbling someone
Into an altogether other and better someone
More acceptable and respectable when they
Are really quite despicable? Is it to save face
When in reality we could bow out with grace?
Ah! Ah! Tell me how it is someone stumbles
Into our lives and then bumbles us into love
When all along we know inside it’s wrong?
How and why this travesty of insane pain!

If this has happened to you, Jonathan, then… hugs. 😦
Well, actually … yes, and thank you for the hugs! (It has also happened to a very dear member of my family.) Ah! Life!
I feel you, been there, done it, still got the t-shirt…how you ask? I have no idea. It’s quite something when you know something is so wrong… when everybody does… and yet you hang on to the few decent crumbs you’re thrown and pretend everything is okay…Hugs ❤
Thank you… I’m ready for my t-shirt and I know a few others who need one as well! Grateful for the hugs across the pond! All the best to you 🙂
Love heals all open wounds
only to open again
You are left to figure it out
Only love knows
And hasn’t any arms to hold
For love is love
What we want is love
Not commitments
Beautifully stated, my friend… Thank you!
