Just For You

Salvation sounds nice
Oh how lovely it would be
But then the handcuffs
The restraints
The lock down
Protection from ourselves

Let us lock up those we love
Love them so much
We can not let them go
No matter how much pain
How much suffering
As long as they are there
For us to see
On occasion
Talk to
Once a year
Share a joke with
Sometimes

It is for their own good
That we do these things
Drug them into ignorance
Tie them down at night
Blanket them in guilt
Kiss them on the forehead
But don’t turn out the light
Tonight is suicide watch

The person that you see
Is not always the real me
I have a lifetime of experience
In hiding what I feel
I do not
Want to fucking be here
Anymore

Yet I will dance for you
I will sing and laugh
I will joke and juggle
Just so long as you don’t
Call the fucking cops
I will suffer through
Everything
Just for you

    Wow Terry, I have to be honest,I do not like this one!
    Is like reverse psichology .All of the sudden, the ones who love and want the person to be well are the ones to blame! I have to refuse that view. Love is bigger than any pain and at times,Love becomes pain.

    “Love Is Blindness” – U2

    Love is blindness
    I don’t want to see
    Won’t you wrap the night
    Around me
    Oh my heart
    Love is blindness

    In a parked car
    In a crowded street
    You see your love
    Made complete
    Thread is ripping
    The knot is slipping
    Love is blindness

    Love is clockworks
    And cold steel
    Fingers too numb to feel
    Squeeze the handle
    Blow out the candle
    Love is blindness

    Love is blindness
    I don’t want to see
    Won’t you wrap the night
    Around me
    Oh my love
    Blindness

    A little death
    Without mourning
    No call
    And no warning
    Baby…a dangerous idea
    That almost makes sense

    Love is drowning
    In a deep well
    All the secrets
    And no one to tell
    Take the money
    Honey
    Blindness

    Love is blindness
    I don’t want to see
    Won’t you wrap the night
    Around me
    Oh my love
    Blindness
