No Strings Attached

No strings attached.

I knew this would happen.

But I didn’t realize,

It would soon happen

When my father called, and 

I was too tired to talk,

I knew this would happen, 

But didn’t realize this soon would happen.

On a winter night,

Between a strong breeze of loneliness and fear;

When I march passed my life only to crash upon the death bed,

I knew it would happen but didn’t realize this soon

While the calendar said it was Friday,

And I wasn’t hoping for a weekend wine,

Between hope and pretending to hope,

I knew it would happen, but didn’t realize this soon.

From feeling ‘ I love you’ many times a day,

To opting to say it a lot more times,

I knew no strings were attached.

But I didn’t know, it would happen this soon.

When I saw my past shedding tears of lust,

And I wasn’t empathetic to who once I was,

I knew no strings were attached.

But it took time to realize this soon.

When I became little more submissive,

Just because holding more to self felt ruthless;

I knew I would lose myself,

But didn’t know it was to be held soon.

I knew I was stoic,

And was a wound away from being lost,

Still, In Pretending to live again,

I took chances, I knew only in vain.

When waiting became a willful game,

And I waited for love, life, evening and death;

I knew I was a wound away,

But didn’t realize it would end my entire quest again.
