Take me down with you
Batter and beaten till black and blue
This elephant in the room 
Makes me want to get to know you

My heart beats but in tightly strewn knots
what they call fleeting blood clots
I'm searching for a clue
But just what can I do to not fall in love with you 

Your words speak shallow water
But your eyes say something deeper
Tell me what’s going on
Is it me? Is it you? Is there something I can do?


Your silence resonates like an ephemeral repudiation 
While I'm chained in this temporal purgatory
You prance around with other prospective tribulations
Let's close this case repository
