Why is it the same thing
time after time?
Is there a reason these tears
won't leave my eyes?

I keep thinking that if I can
just get my heart to let you go
then these tears will disappear
to be seen no more.

Each time I try to let you go
my heart hurts and
the dams fill to overflowing.

Even when my mind knows
the best thing would be letting go
since I know you have done so
long ago.

Scared that never will I find
someone who will accept me as I am
when in all honesty I am not sure you even do.

I am merely a convenience
for you to allow your sexual tensions loose,
though never have you heard me complain
for you satisfy the hunger within me.

Just can't take the nonchalance
with which you treat me anymore
so I have decided to cut the ties on my end
for those are the only ones left holding on.
