ruinous

your lack of willingness
is killing us
I can't go on like this
for my love only goes so far
and so far, no good
 
I've done all that I can
for such a stubborn man
for you I did stand
so long I did stand
but I was only in the way
in your light
 
might I ask
was I not it?
fanning the flames
of lame passion
only to be spun
on a spit
ash and feast
you're no boy
you're a beast
coming to me
only when you were hungry
and I
have been devoured
 
where is the fairness
in this trade?
shaved ice in my hands
and mice in the mind
for my concern and time
so much of which you
have been blind to
indifferent and unkind to
 
 
what else could I do?
 
 
though I suppose
the real question should be
what else could you have done
than to ruin yourself
ruin us
