Circle

The circle is ingrained in all our conversations

We try to escape and follow a straight line

But gravity just pulls us back to centre

As we are slowly spinning out of control

You already know all that I am feeling

But I will explain it just once more 

I will argue, raise my voice and let you know

You will listen, just a second and then raise yours

We will walk around in circles, round and round

In a never ending dance of blame and sadness

We both know all the steps that are to come

In this circle, we will never lose our way

Someday, this hurricane will pass 

And life will guide us left or right

I long for the dizziness to disappear

And I fear all that we might find

So,

Just for one more day, one more

I will step back on this ride
