Wedge
The wedge grew amongst our fragile state
untied to me but tied all the same
bound by the past agreements we’d made
you’d come to me wearing the next you would bait
illogical but you felt guilt all the same
knowing of you I wouldn’t partake
but I could sense when the nights ended young
you were off to another date
and our waters flowed apart and away
and I’d never touch you as I wouldn’t insult you with such
to waste a dream wasn’t my way
and my mind would ache as they would use you for the lust in your wake
as you’d send the thoughts of you and them my way
and I’d hate you but love you all the same
and you would find another excuse for our time to come to an end
and the phone would never ring but somehow I’d continue to dial
while I managed to fend
while your body they would continue to defile
liquor yourself up till you’d numb it all away
till you could believe any lie
forgetting that true love begged for you to spare it’s frail life
and I’d wait and endlessly hesitate
and the phone calls never came
even still always I’d initiate
until came the day
where I realized you were evil incarnate

Vying for my attention
yet unsuspecting
that trying to take it off you is all I'm spending an eternity doing
yet unsuspecting
that trying to take it off you is all I'm spending an eternity doing
Did you really think I’d put my mouth
where you could close your eyes
and pretend it’s her?
where you could close your eyes
and pretend it’s her?
You
For too many years
couldn’t imagine another inside
couldn’t ever look past your eyes staring into me
wasn’t light-hearted about you in the least,
then as trickling death of reality settled in
withdrew reluctantly
hated every agonizing step away
hated every moment astray
needed you to know
never some toss away
before one day we step foot to the grave
I didn’t want to just whisper your name one last time under dying breath
with no one to show
a secret till the death
there’s future after you know?
integrity intact is the only way I’d care to go
