CHOSE TO STAY

I've hit all possible obstacles

But not one so tall

As to make me fall

Been put down

And pounded down

But not one can cause pause

Against this wall

Heard not one sound

Around this town

That gave me cause to stall

You see I'm a winner

The kind of rye guy

You bring home for dinner

Show me to mom and dad

And they'll be glad

You're no longer with

That sinner

Show me half your soul

I'll give the other half back

And help you find your center

And it doesn't matter

What it was

Your intent

To deliver

I am the solution

To mathematical uncertainties

You're inclined to divide

And the probabilities

You derive

To get there

I am the result

Of long winded diatribes

That find Tribe

To be the answer

I've been wound down

And ground down

Like the sharpened tip

Of a pencil

I am the breadcrumbs

That point

Your way home like

Hantzel and Gretel

I am the marmalade

That confuses your day

When you just wanted jelly

I am the babe

That cries in your arms

When it has a full belly

I am the picture perfect token

Of Fidelity

I am the picture framed

Broken glass

From when you moved in with me

I am the rose that dries up

In Your windowsill

I am the pills you take

To get better

When you just feel ill

I am the hummus

That you thought was dip

I am your public service

Announcement

I am your pronouncements

Your declarations

And your weekly

Grocery

Trip

I am the long forgotten

Carnival you went to

When you were a kid

I am your circus

Full of elephants

In a Ringling Brothers

Tent

I am the timely result

Of the women

Who claimed I was too

Intense

I'm your new car

After a collision

All broken and bent

But not a single dent

Been returned from

The repair shop

Like brand new

And new features too

UPGRADED!

I am the haphazard way

You make gravy

I am the things you do

When you're lazy

I am

The better half

Of the one who drove you

Crazy

I am the temptation you feel

As you fall asleep

Dazing

I am what you do

When there is no

Hesitating

I am the choice you made

When there was no time

For dating

I am the one you didn't

Let get away

I am the place you went

And then chose to stay
