Why is it,
Whenever I'm ready
To finally let someone in
They do something
I can't stand

What is with the women I love?
Have some Integrity.
Have some Shame.
Have some Composure.
Stop giving me reasons
To push you away.

at a time when it took everything in me
to keep my name out of the obituaries.
