I have tried
God knows how
I have tried
Standing on my
Side and holding
This rope letting
You win and
Drag me through
The mud of
Your life hoping
To eventually pull
You back through
To my side
But no once
I was winning
You dropped your
Rope knee deep
In mud saying
I’d rather stay
Here and wallow
Staring in disbelief
Pleading asking why
I dropped mine
And returned home
Letting you stay
Where you’ve always
Wanted to be
In your mud
But now I
Understand why whereas
Your mud is
Knee deep my
Mud’s deep enough
To drown in
