​I drown myself in the indulgence of getting to know someone
This insatiating appetite of mine will always remain
Because to learn is to yearn, a deeply entrenched 
desire to know and understand
A personality dissection one might say
Over a cup of tea, whatever it might be
We weave through the ins and outs of our self-image and project a being to another,
Unsure of how it is seen,
Unsure of how it has been heard

Tell me you want me
Tell me no lies
I can’t stand nor handle this belittling, this love’s demise.
