"MIXED MESSAGES"

 

"MIXED MESSAGES"

Push and shove come here go away

Mixed signals lose me in the sway

No map no compass left to guide

Words are landmines that we hide

Walking on eggshells every step

Waiting for the other shoe to hit

Experiences keep me holding tight

But now I’m stuck I cannot fight

Why the walls why the doors

Every word feels like a war

If it’s not personal don’t make it so

Can’t keep searching all alone

Your defenses slam shut each time

Love gets lost I’m left behind

Heart and pride tossed aside

In the present I can’t hide

Frustration leaves me immobile

Loyal love now feeling so volatile

I despise what you've become

Don't understand can't feel numb

Why the walls why the doors

Every word feels like a war

If it’s not personal don’t make it so

Can’t keep searching all alone
