Easy as life (?)

"This is the moment when the gods expect me to beg for help but I won't even try I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me, but I won't lie down, roll over and die. All I have to do is to forget how much I love him, all I have to do is put my longing to one side, tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation. Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died. It's easy, it's easy...

All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him, on those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart, better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding, better the contempt of the familiar cannot start. It's easy, It's easy...

Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him and how he would have been were I to be with him today, those very rare occasions don't let up they keep on coming. All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away. It's easy, it's easy as life...

But then I saw the faces of a worn, defeated people; a father and a nation who won't let a coward run is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages? Forcing us to prove the hardest thing we've done. Are easy, so easy...

And though I'll think about him til the earth draws in around me and though I choose to leave him for another kind of love. There is no denial, no betrayal but redemption redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above. It's easy, it's easy as life..."




not mine but it could......
