I don’t deal in lust. I don’t deal in simplicity. I value something more intricate, Something more intimate. Something real. It’s nothing that I can control, And God knows I don’t want to, But I’ll be damned if He doesn’t know How fearful I am to ruin it all. You challenge me. You say things I can’t believe, But they’re things I want to observe, Things I want to understand more. You give to me, you take from me, But you are always so appreciative. I only ask how you are Because I care too much For your well-being. I know what your life is like now, So cold and so alone. Feeling spurned by the one you claim is yours. But truly, I am the one who should be; Please find it within yourself To make the right decision. And if that decision does not include me, You will be okay But I Will not.
