No, I get it. Really, it’s fine.<\/p>\n
I worked damn hard to make you mine.<\/p>\n
But my tongue said things that made a noose<\/p>\n
I failed to stay calm and a tirade’s been let loose.<\/p>\n
No, I’m not angry, just disappointed.<\/p>\n
Really, there’s no reason to get so disjointed.<\/p>\n
These fickle words will forcibly fly,<\/p>\n
And like a sword, they’ll cut out an eye.<\/p>\n
I’ve hung myself in desperation<\/p>\n
Just to convey this conversation.<\/p>\n
Yet you cannot seem to understand,<\/p>\n
I did this just to hold your hand.<\/p>\n
Your eyes they glow, but with apprehension.<\/p>\n
Rather than love requited, I receive tension.<\/p>\n
Perhaps I’ve missed an important piece?<\/p>\n
Or maybe I don’t know any longer how to speak.<\/p>\n
Your beauty does make me feel weak.<\/p>\n
But deaf ears hear not that which I seek<\/p>\n
to convey to you.<\/p>\n
So once again, I’m alone and tongue-tied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
