ONE MORE TIME

i'm trying the best i can

to entrust you your space

without withdrawing myself from your life unreservedly

but through selfish desire

i crave your affection

and it places me in a position that is far too cruel and

injurious a condition to be stranded in

by an action of my own

your words fracture me

confabulation on painful conversation on play repeating

i'm quick to assure you what is best for your wellbeing

to cry for you, to take care of you

but in turn, as perceptive as i am

i fail to mention for what is the best for me

and i continue to exist

with what is putting my heart to death

not quite homicide, but suicide at it's finest

bloodshed at it's best

i push on, unfeeling and unaccompanied

alone, cole, fearsome of what is to come

too modest to ask for your aid

as you continue to push me aside

for better people and better places

i am your old convention,

a fixation you no longer crave

but you're my addiction

and i've become accustom to you

you're a compulsion that creates

weak injustices in my knees

and splinters in my heart

and butterflies in my stomach

so call me by my name

baby just tell me you love me one more time

these withdrawals will be the cleanest suicide that society has ever seen

i need you here more than ever and i'm begging you please

dont be so quick

to let your pertinacious habits tighten my noose
