Tie a Yellow Ribbon To This

Take me to your answer
tied by the wrists to blind faith
in no position to retort 
every reach out that’s ignored 
has yet to come back as irate

good wishes cast aside
left alone to die next to foolish pride
preaching to a choir that’s not there
bound to loneliness tied to a chair

apology apology again
jailed to my transgression 
caged by your whim
each day i am sentenced to a week
time never served 
allowed never to hide nor seek 

you know that i won’t leave
but afraid that i will go
back to where you sent me to be alone
no one left inside
this shell of me you left behind 

you won’t answer
you won’t say
so, when i start to give a fuck about
what you can’t choose 
so afraid of my booze
keep everything you have
and get someone new
if you haven’t already done so

love who you will
no need to worry
skip without feeling guilt
without the same courtesy you could have shown 
go get your new life and happiness 

go out and get your own
