I haven't stopped loving you the way I always have I haven't even looked to others for the affection you refuse me The sustenance you starve me of I haven't tried to change you although I'm sure you'd say otherwise Nor have I tried to lure you with tempting bribes In fact I was the one changing throughout these times And if i had the choice, I wouldn't have it any other way Because you told me time and time again of your right of choice And though i respect this, you still find ways to accuse my words of being authoritative Can't you see that I am the only one that preserves you barely free Will? Or has your lie been told so many times you believe it truth You've turned my cries of hurt into unfair apologies And I've allowed this belittling as long as I can stand I have fought the battle for the two of us so far Because you said you wouldn't be long But long has long passed And your feet seem more solidly where they are You never send word of your expected arrival I'm stranded, alone, loving a man that shows no love So I call to you, in the only way I can To say I have dropped your sword as well as mine It's your turn to practice this free will you apparently have Choose if you are to run after me, or are to remain. Sinking through the the grounds upon which you stand to the fires of the prison we all know below.

I didn't realize we were playing sinking lemons
