mister please listen

he took my life right out of my hands

remodeled my hopes, redesigned my plans

and I cannot resent him this

because that incompetence is something I will not miss

this rope is woven with intellect

I view it now as impossible to neglect

but with knowledge comes pain

and suddenly all he made me do was in vain

watching him walk away

I lose my position of being his clay

and I'm unable to model myself as I hoped

but with faked vanity I still grip this rope

I just want to understand

to have my apprehension expand

the world presents itself as so dark

that alone has left its mark

I need to weave in this rope myself

because he cast me to the emptiest corner in hell

all this that haunts my mind

the answers I delusively search to find

he only gave me a taste of this insight

and left me with a curiousity I refuse to fight

I need to find out more about me

maybe then I'll make him see

but no matter how many words I said

my modeler never figured out my head

the artist who couldn't make sense of his creation

this rope is here to destroy our relation

so he can move across the nation

and I'll sit here and try to perceive

all the things that drove him to leave
