You Got Some 'Splaining To Do

It’s like..

I crave you..

But

I don’t.

Could seek you,

But

I won’t.

My oxygen;

And my

Toxin

I breathe,

And then I

Choke.

Had faith

In you

So long..

Your hurt

Has made

Me

Strong.

Want me

To stay

Push me

Away..

Wish I

Could play

Along..

I don’t

Know what

You want.

You act so

Nonchalant.

You pull

Me close;

I

Overdose

Now

All you

Do is

Haunt

My past

And

Future’s

Hope.

Oh, what

A

Slippery

Slope.

I tried

With you

You

Misconstrue

My ability

To cope.

Where does

This leave

Us now?

My heart

Just can’t

Allow

You to

Come in

Destroy again

Want to

Trust you..

But how?

Left me

So many

Times

Resorted me

To rhymes

I play

Your game

Then feel

My shame..

A victim

Of your

Crimes.

To be..

Or not

To be?

Locked out?

Then find

The key.

You’re

Missing out

On me..

No doubt..

So

Prove

Yourself

To me.
