Dysfunction

How do I explain to thee
You never disagree
I'm choking on uncertainty
and animosity
The reason for your agony
The only thing you need
Is a cure for indecision that is
rubbing off on me
I would like to have an answer
But the question still escapes me
Show me the compassion in a sanctity that burns
I appreciate the teaching
But I'm not prepared to learn
I can't meet you half way
If you're moving in reverse
How am I to love or leave this curse?

Ultamatums never work
Discussing idle deeds
The potential consequential
acts are bound to soon proceed
Place the blame and plant the seed
You love to see me plead
Watch me chasing and replacing
What I thought you gave to me
How was I to know what you call love
Is known to others best as
greed. You need to shield yourself
by lashing out in fear
You keep me at distance
But you beg to have me near
Keep it on the surface
The emotion's never clear
I can't fathom
Why you want me here

Nothing beats me down like me
the last thing that I need
is your confusion like a weapon
to assist me in my deed
Promising a covenant
Recanting it with speed
Drowning in irresolution
And the malice that you breed
I've been searching for a reason
to be pitiful and you give
Me the motivation to rake coals
across my knees
The illusion is confusion
but its calculated grief
tearing down in the inside
leave the outside looking clean
Make your mind up
Love
or leave me be!
