Frayed Yo-Yo’s

Instinct is the truth you can’t hide

that voice within you are unable to deny

and when it shouts the facts

then ignoring them is never a victory.

 

Love is not meant to be a yo-yo

always dangling by a string

between the sky and the ground

happy when it is in the clouds

in deep agony when smashing into the soil.

 

To be dependent and not magnetized

have those moments of pure suffering

is a journey on a rollercoaster

while sitting on barbed wire.

 

Some times fear of loss

becomes a sorceress who controls,

yet inside their remains the reality

you can’t build paradise

on a earth where there is so much waste.

 

There is always pain in absence,

but even more in continuing to wander

a land that has as many tears as smiles

than to escape the game

and look ahead for that place

where happiness truly exist

without constantly walking barefoot

over hot coals in disappointment.
