Tug a war

Fighting with love

The pulling of the rope

as my feet sink into the sand

The harder I pull

The stronger I feel

Someone pushing me closer to them

Makes me feel weak inside

So I must pull tighter on that rope so I do not sink

It’s a push pull

Type of fight to see who must win

Either I let go of the rope and fight for what I want

Or I keep pulling away and walk away

It’s my choice

do I stand tall in the sand and fight

Or do I release the rope and move on?

Do I?

Let someone who loves me help show me

the way

of truly being loved

or do I?

Let go of the rope

go on my marry way

and be alone

with just a rope in my hand

With my feet still stuck in the sand

As I sink further away and alone

Until there’s nothing left

except the sand and the rope
