The Burning of the Picture

by BreatheNoMore   Aug 14, 2005


Without delay
I plan to elude you
Like a warrior and his dying day
No friendly how’s it going’s to give you
And somehow the line that once engaged you
Is not picking up those ambient
Those well-familiar cues

Obfuscated, you’ll stop in your tracks
To find love runs rather translucent
An ancient river curtly evaporates
Any words exchanged become quite transient

Reflect on all the things I’ve given you
And all the things you’ve taken away
Sorry
It’s not up to me
I want to love you for more than your dependency

So I came to terms the other day
That you never will be satisfied
Whether there is a picture or I’m in it
So without delay
You’ll realize I’m taking away
And my striving to please you has gone absent

Delicate
Goodbye, you can’t be genuine
Goodbye
Thought of me for you is much too transient
