Your Ultimatum

by Melissa   Nov 9, 2008


Lie to me, say I meant more.
Say I was enough; please don't lock the memories behind that door.
If you would just humor me for a little longer.
I could pretend I'm okay, prove to you that I am stronger.

I don't know if what's resting, behind my lips will even matter
Let's skip the broken silence and small-talk-chatter.
This air is stale and toxic to inhale
My skin is clammy from waiting; my face is silent and pale.

Give me the ultimatum; just tell me what's on your mind
I am young and can be totally naive, but I am not blind.
Ignore the sweet words you had planned and the story you so carefully, revised.
I read it in your expression; it's even displayed in your eyes

I've given my heart to you, detached it from the sleeve
Been the girl you say you've always wanted, but I am afraid I must now leave.
My hair is the way you like it, this dress you said you adore.
Through this I have realized I liked who I was before.

Please tell me if I am what you want, before I go away for good.
I've been obvious in my feelings, I've done- all I could.
No longer will I be on call for whenever you need
My heart has been in pain too long; I need to put a stop to this secret bleed.
