Hanging by a Thread

if this is where it ends, give in.

if times are so trying, let it end.

no more difficulty, no need for reason

no time to explain or give meaning

held by a thread spun so thin

i can't ever seem to win.

a tango of two

both brief and long overdo

"burning for you"- with rue

unbeknownst to me of what to do.

i leave you be

for i am in a season of me

my vines grow wild like flower

more beautiful by the hour

your breath so deep

cuts through the air like sheers to a sheep

like an abrupt pause to a sentence-

didn't you say you'd gone to sleep?

i pile on like a mother's love too strong

i interrogate you time again

you say my query is wrong

im acquainted with accuracy

you acquaint with pity, wallowing in it

but you say im wrong.

we go again and again

i play along, but-

when will the loop cease

and begin the end of this song?
