Cancel Bay

We’ve carried each other
So far on our own,
With all this time,
the lies you’ve sown.

I’ll just keep telling myself
This won’t hurt a bit.
Then you’ll raise my hopes
To shoot them down again.

I’m a forgiving person,
Who, without you, can’t live,
So, as I glide downwards,
Another chance I give.

Just close your eyes, love;
Don’t want you to see me crash down.
As I swallow my pain,
I feel things turnin’ ‘round.

For no sooner do you make me fall,
That I land in your arms.
You save me once more from
Your own invented harm.

You see, I’ve placed my heart in a
Locket to wear about your neck.
On a stone, in the rain you sat,
“If our love holds, it won’t get wet.”

Just keep testing my faith.
You can believe you’re so deft.
Before you know it, though,
There won’t be any dry places left.
