You’re doing it again

Making me feel like I’m someone I’m not

Blaming me for some phantom transgression

Constructing a straw-man and placing my

Being within it

Gallivanting in your melancholy and 

Disdain dripping off your once-hidden fangs

Seeking to bite down on me,

Your favorite victim

You push me away 

Yet you force me into your life again and again

For once, the snake charms the man

Batting me back and forth between the

Two sides of yourself

One side, other side, one side, other side

You talk about me like I’m some thorn in your

Side, disregarding the life I have handed you

You wanted kinship, kinship I gave

You wanted friends, friends I provided

You wanted sympathy, my heart I poured out

Yet you backed me into a wall as you pleased

You wanted servitude, perhaps that’s it

Some vending machine of a boy

Profits and pleasure within

I stood there solemnly, giving what you asked

Praying it was enough

But it never was,

Take and take

Looking for any mistake

Maybe my brain developed

Or you took all I could give

Suddenly you couldn’t take it from me

Suddenly I no longer wanted to give

How long did I wait for love,

Frozen in time and searching

How long did I delay myself for naught

Hoping you’d see my merit again

Now I am left unfrozen and 

Within myself once more

But I can’t seem to find my way back 

To who I was before

That’s what you want to say?

Not really.
