memorandum

i'm only choking 'cause i declined your substituting beverage
i'm only poking around to find some kind of lasting leverage

i cannot aggitate my soul enough for me to hold on to you
you cannot complicate, my whole's too tough to be sold to your zoo

and i know you said that you would listen
as my diamond heart no longer seems to be glistening 
now

i'm making a point of making this a pointless conversation
you can't chain me to this joint, it's lost the intoxication

i can hear you saying now "...tion words are easy to rhyme"
i can respond to your splaying now "at least i'm taking the time"

think just what you will...you aren't hearing
you are too cold to me to remain endearing
now

i can only hold my tongue so long before i falter
i know you're young, but my song can't be sung at your alter

i wish you'd never said those words before we parted
you may have left justified, but, i left broken hearted

you think you have gotten the best deal
i think jury's out and pleas can't be repealed
now
