Throwing Gauntlets

Spirals of recollections are spinning through my brain

I put my thoughts in different sections

But they still spell out your name

I point then you point, I object your every word

To understand it from my viewpoint, to you it seems absurd

Your voice can carry loudly, as if firecrackers are going off

My feelings are getting cloudy; the bright sunshine is getting sparse

Throwing heavy gauntlets they’re caving through my soul

Wondering…. do I really want this? New love, that’s quickly turning old?

Depression is your best friend; you understand it in many ways

Now it’s time I should step in… to pull you out your negative daze

Throwing heavy gauntlets, the kind that scrapes at your core

Wondering …do I really want this? New love, that’s letting out its roar?

I crawl across your battlefield bruised and feeling weak

Not sure how much my heart can shield or control its fragile beat

Throwing heavy gauntlets aiming at my chest, asking, do I really want this?

Maybe we should give it a rest.
