Worth fighting for
15) "The truth is everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for."
- Bob Marley
How can you set the limit?
Your heart, its fragility was born to leap from the car park summit
Relationships they start off well but, in the end, they make you grimace
The lift its raises, the ties they break, and then you plummet
Not calculations on a spreadsheet, but finger burning bliss
When lovers turn to friends or worse
And ignominy is the greatest curse
When all the tears have dried
Trusts question marks can’t be reversed
Hope against hope for the sunny side
Optimistic seed were strewn
failed to be enchanted, blessed by the new moon
sufferance to bite your tongue and still be tied
Disappointment and deflation came
You always paid with golden coin
But exchanged lead in the end game
Steps that walked away, the echoes of forlorn
But tomorrow may see a bright new dawn
For torture brings such delightful pain
