As he slips away and gets lost in his head,
I try harder than ever to understand.
Tell me why you wanna go there, like you did so long ago...?
I thought we already traveled that road,
now you made a detour knowing I would follow behind.
I seem to have no say in the matter
and it tears me up inside. . .
I guess I have no voice
I guess I have no choice
((but to follow))
Follow you down that same old windy road,
down the hard road, is where we go.
Heartbreaks and set-backs along the way
tell me why, I choose to stay?
I don't like this dark road,
rollin' down the hard road feelin' like there's no escape.
But in reality, all I have to do is walk away. . .
This decision is easier said than done
to follow my heart, when it decides to run.
Eventually you will see, this decision isn't right for me.
And sadly to say, I dont think it will stop you from plunging through.
A battle I know I'm bound to lose.
Despite all the heartache and stress,
you expect me to follow, and then I choose to-
I guess I have no voice
I guess I have no choice
((but to follow))
Follow you down that same old windy road,
down the hard road, is where we go.
Heartbreaks and set-backs along the way
tell me why, I choose to stay?
I don't like this dark road,
rollin' down the hard road feelin' like theres no escape.
But in reality, all I have to do is walk away. . .
It's really not that easy, boy.
Don't you know, you're killing me slowly?

Now for the scathing review I had mentioned. Your stuff is really good, and it's full of raw emotion. It's a little hard to find the rhythm in some of it, but once you do, it flows really nicely. It's not easy to find the rhythm in life, why should it be easy in poetry, right? Well, I think that I am going to hit the hay as well, now. I hope our treacherous paths might cross again.
