Trapped

It’s sad when you in a relationship
Based on fear of finding love.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
That’s failing but you will not let go.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
Based on lies and deceit.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
That makes you hate yourself.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
Based on self doubt and denial.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
That’s slowly killing your heart.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
Based on dangerous secrets.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
That’s slowly poisoning your soul.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
Based on a burning flame of anger.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
That’s hindering your ability to feel.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
Based on a desire to escape.

It’s sad when you n a relationship
That’s distorting your ability to see.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
Based on complex and mixed feelings.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
That’s clouding your judgement.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
Based on a changing tide.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
That’s taking you away from your dreams.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
Based on an unwelcome friendship.

It’s sad when you in a relationship
That’s hurting you yet you can’t leave…
