Time After Time

Time after time,

Line after line,

I beg and plead

But never leave.

I never lied

When I said

I'm fucked up in the head

Now you can see

That's just me.

Begging

But not for you,

For me.

Line after line,

Lie after lie,

I'm 3 for 3.

Strike for me.

"Third times the charm!"

What's the harm?

Cuts and bruises to my heart,

But at least it fuels my art.

Sliver and red blurred

Now, are words slurred.

Heartbeat

Slow and steady

To find the cheat

Ready?

3 for 3

Now I go carefree.
