The Cowardly Lioness

Three years and too many tears to count later

I wonder if they'll ever amount to anything

She's taken everything and given nothing in return yet somehow turned it into something too meaningful for you to let go of

One appointment passed when was the last time she encouraged you to find yourself

Whose mental health are you looking after at this point because all the signs point to her and her broken joints what's the point in pretending that you're only just friends?

Thirteen years gone it feels like so long since he touched you

It's not fair the way your life played out

I doubt I can take away the pain

In vain I hope my words will touch you in a way that makes you feel safe

Is it safe to say she's become your escape?

Now you're lost and can't find your way home

You forgot you were sewn beside five surviving souls

No it's just you two against the world

Just you and your girl

But you know what they say two's company, and three's a crowd

You, her, and the demon make an unhappy threesome

What's the reason for this never ending season because it doesn't make sense to me?

You have enough sense to know better

You're too damn clever

I know you know a toxic relationship when you see one

You say you won't be the one to get stuck in a muck

But luck won't get you out of this rut

You can't twist and turn the situation by determination you're just wasting your time

Cus time is all we got and you've wasted a lot on breaking up

Seven months ago a lovely Leo decided to let go of her lazy lover

Against all odds she set forth for Oz in August

She follows the yellow brick road in hopes of finding courage in the Emerald City

But she is emotional and leads with her heart

Brick by brick she will build herself up at the start

And the day will come when neither lions nor tigers or bears will scare her

She will bear her teeth and speak of the story of the cowardly lioness who found her strength and courage within her distress
