Driving Me Away

Poem Artwork

I’m writing this letter to you

then throwing it away for me.

It’s not about your version of truth

but ‘bout the things you don’t see.

 

Talking always ended in walls.

Those barriers so hard to break.

You gave me no other choice

but to breathe for my own mental sake.

 

My way, is all you say, that’s your only play.

All along, your only song, is driving me away.

 

I’m trying to capture the meaning

of all my emotions in chains.

You always were the root cause to me

that fed my heart those pains.

 

My way, is all you say, that’s your only play,

All along, your only song, is driving me away.

All along,

your only song,

is driving me away.

These relationships either give us a will or teach us compromise. A will to the one who yields and a lesson to the one who demands control.
Honest, pure pain in this write, Michael...

Heartfelt, beautiful and yet sad.
"Driving Me Away" pulls at the heartstrings and yet it is an experience that at times we all may have experienced.

A wonderful write,
Gwendolyn
