Like a graveyard, you are never satisfied
and always want more.
Always want something extra
a little more than the usual.
Always want more attention
but you keep yours in detention.
There is no retention!
Never satisfied with simplicity
always looking for complexity.
Shy away from honesty
but lie in bed with dishonesty.
You even question why I only speak one language
“Hey Senorita!”
Is that Spanish enough for you?
“Hey Mademoiselle!”
Is that French enough for you?
What IF?
I pour out a bucketful of tears
cry out my insecurities
bleed out my distrust and mistrust
let out the skeletons in my closet.
Would that be vulnerable enough for you?
What IF?
I move from nobody to somebody
own and drive the best and fastest cars
wear the newest release of clothes
get you the finest jewels.
Would that be good enough for you?
What IF?
I carve out my heart from my chest
and serve it as a dish for you.
Give you my mind, body and soul for dessert.
Would that be good enough for you?
No! No! No!
Your thirst is unquenchable
Your lust for more is insatiable
and I refuse to lose myself
while trying to please you.
This is the end to our unholy alliance
The end to our unholy matrimony
The end to romantic slavery!
