Keep your eye on me …

I need you to see this

Be this, not what I desire you to be

I silently take this, make this my home…

Broken by words and lack of action

My heart has been fashioned in the skill of delusions

Illusions of  a you and me turned we that would never  be

Keep your eye on me…

Patience for a goal never built to attain

Red stains on everything that is touched…

Is it enough that I waited for you to treat me right

Back down from fights where you force me to believe you are a good man

forcing a hand already in your favor

only bitterness savored…

I wanted to take care of you

That’s what Good women are supposed to do

But instead… I dread sharing my feelings of any kind

while you stay blind and consider only your perception…

Upon the end of the road, I come to know what it is you really feel…

Care was never real as you explain me away as an obligation

saying you let plenty of things go and you told me you didn’t want me

How was I supposed to know when you request me to undress?

When you assure me you aren’t going anywhere and my patience I need to press

Yes…

That definitely shows your disdain

That show alone makes things simple and plain…

All you had to say was “all I ever want to be is friends”

Then you wouldn’t have had to endure my questions every now and again

Asking if my feelings of coldness from you were a sign…

Instead you  say “friends for now” and “at the right time”

You never wanted me…

You made me think that you did…

So excuse me for flipping my FUCKING lid

That was my breaking point, telling me that you care

and you only fucked me because I happened to be there.

Keep your eye on me, baby…

Because I’ll still hold you dear,

for you I will give my life

My cause is sincere

Keep your eye on me, love…

Because I’m wearing your favorite color

Do you see me, lover

The red that flows through my veins Is now dripping from my hands

In an effort to make it plain that I wish to please you with the things you like

Keep your eye on me…

I need you to see what lengths I’ll go to keep you,

to make you the one…

I need you  to take me in my perfect state

This can’t be left undone…

Keep you eye on me…

See what happens when you leave me,

Every trace of red love leaving my body…

without it I can’t sleep, can’t breathe, can’t be…

I can’t let you leave me…

Keep your eye on me…
