Is This What You Wanted

Are you still listening?

Yes and I hear.

My heart is all empty

To take you in clear

I don’t quite believe you

How can I prove

The lack of my lacking

When it comes to you

There’s nothing worth saying

A lie like the rest

Will you do what’s right

For this pain in my chest

I have no such duty

As I have got none

Yet still I had wanted

To be your only one

You just think you love me

You don’t know me well

I’ve swallowed your kindness

And lured you to hell

I have no such virtue

And yet here you are

Do you think you appeared here

With nary a scar

That’s not worth believing

Oh, do think it true

I just cannot wait

Until I’m rid of you

It’s not quite deception

No, there is a grain

Of truth I can’t smother

That ignites into flame

Is this what you wanted?

Well, what about you?

I think that you know

I think you do, too
