Moving Cycle of Love

Jessikah Bailey 1988 (United States)



i'm so sick of tiptoeing
around to make sure you
don't get hurt, i'm tired of
putting myself out there
knowing the outcome and
just waiting for it to hit me
but i'm also tired of not having you
of being alone and missing you.
anytime i think of how it ended
i get so sick of tiptoeing around
to make sure you don't get hurt
but it gets me even angrier
to know that i hurt you... minutes
turn to hours turns to days turn
to months and the shadow of love
still remains and the cycle goes on.
