Don’t think I believe in the long-term thing
Too wrapped up in this fleeting dream
Afraid of what my life will be
If I continue on this path
Can’t shake the feeling it’s all for naught
Despite mixed messages I’ve been taught
The pros and cons of tying the knot
Can’t keep my hands grasped
Exit plan will come someday
Not wearing my wedding ring today
In hopes its message will convey
In this state I cannot last
I love you now and always will
Don’t wish upon you any ill
You’ve been my life for years and still
I cannot overcome my past
Today is this and maybe tomorrow
I’ll read these words and feel deep sorrow
At all the times I’ve had to borrow from
Endurance unabashed
