Acceptance

She said no
So let it go
Dance with Lady
In waiting

In his hand
You remand
The hopes of heart
you're creating

Another loss
Casual toss
It's never as personal
As you're thinking

Trying real hard
To draw the right card
Is like closing your mouth
While you're drinking

Right will just be
Though nothing is free
He waits to see if I'll
Surrender

Not being secured
Is like being injured
By dumping your heart
In the blender

I must say I'm not glad
In fact I'm a bit mad
But we can't always get
What we wanted

If the pain didn't hurt
The blood on my shirt
Would be symbol of growth
Being stunted

I will love her from here
And resist desire to steer
This bus into the tree
That stands waiting

No matter the fear
It's always quite clear
Expectations keep me
Anticipating
