Hanging on by a broken thread.

I am loosing  my  tenuous  grip  on life

My place   in  the  scheme is  slipping  away

Am I  needed, as  mother , lover or  wife.

Slipping  further  in to  darkness  every  day.

 

The words more  bitter  and  harder  to  take

Loosing  those  I love , the  ties  cut as they leave

It hurts  as I feel   my  heart shatter  and  brake

Don’t  want  to pretend anymore  it is  too hard  to fake.

 

So I  bury  my  head  in  music and  try  to  ignore  the pain

Just  Hanging on  by  a broken thread.

Leap out  of  the  way

If that  big  block hits  your toe

It will throb all day.

Our Love is  tender.

Song Lyric Sunday: The Living Years: A day late.

Helen Espinosa of This Life One Word at a time said that this week:” our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is to post a song about consequences, good or bad.”

Sorry this is a day late. 

Rules and Pingback here.

So I thought about this long and hard and I  decided that I would pick on Mike and the Machanics song, In  the living years. 

It is such a classic song of consequences. In truth it is about father son  relationships and it rings very true but honestly the words could be applied to any relationship. We all put off to tomorrow what we should do today. There are so many things I should of said to my parents my sister who died two years ago,friends and somehow I didn’t and now it’s too late. It’s like opening​ a whole can of worms Helen .

I promise myself I shall not make the same mistake again but I know I will. 

The lyrics say it all. I have to put all the lyrics here as they resonate with me and no doubt all of you. 

Tissues to the ready.

The Living Years”

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that I’m a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I’m a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got

You say you just don’t see it
He says it’s perfect sense
You just can’t get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defense

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It’s the bitterness that lasts

So don’t yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different date
And if you don’t give up, and don’t give in
You may just be O.K.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye

I wasn’t there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn’t get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I’m sure I heard his echo
In my baby’s new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye
