Left to hang
Tahnee Sanchez 1984
Today mattered
Right now equals single
Early shattered
Once facts are no longer fare
I thought it mattered to love once
Arrangements of departure
Slowly plotted
1 never danced around 1s ankles
Led to believe left to hang
Never again with any other body.
I feel 2nd choice.
I want him a little less.
Trapped in mystery and following a blind faith.
What has begotten my mind so much
That the gut stopped its warning.
My shame built walls that hide my ques for my digression.
Faults sustained from thoughts that held no merit
I choose no voice I am myself so I must walk.
Barr none fade all.
I'm now 1 of his statistics.
I shall fall into a lonely swing.
With pressure and constriction.
Cut me down is nothing new. With no new outcome.
