Quagmire

I never knew what gray meant
I never knew what pain meant
I never knew what love meant
Until I've fallen in our quagmire
A quagmire I never knew was so deep

I look back at the past
Where all I knew was
Unadulterated Joy, Laugh and Cry
But now? This feeling?
A feeling so new; so surreal, so appealing
Just like a quagmire I would never know the depth of

Numerous attempts I've made
To put in words of
How I feel, but every time I
Feel nothing, but the disappointment
Of a job not done

So many things that I'm unsure of
So many things that are
As new and as fresh as a budding flower
Showing no signs of senescence and scars
Are what I experience now

Even though I'm unsure of what next
I've pulled myself in this too deep
Way beyond rescue
But baby, let there be pain or happiness
I trust you and I promise you

To stay by and
Be trapped in your quagmire
For I know
It's the only place I know
Where there is Mystery and Love
Pain and Gray along with
Happiness and Hope
