With little time left
And nothing to show for my
Years of patience
The dividing road approaches
And I hope to God I figure out
Which road you’ll take
As I follow behind at a safe distance
Until I can muster the potential
To decrease the gap
And increase the mode

I know I’ve left in the wrong light
I thought this was all right
Never thinking of myself
Could do it today, but will probably wait
Procrastinate

I am walking away from what reaches out
And pulls me back
No one should find out
Because what I know is between you and I
And there is no question
No quarter, my desire to be definitive
Obstreperous overload
Which road, my dear?
Which road will you take?

Common sense dictates my logic
So I fear the return shall be worse than the absence
When all truth in reality is revealed
Jealous and jaded opprobrium
And unhappy songs
That keep you awake
Next to someone you really don’t love
In fact you hate

There are few decisions in life
That shouldn’t require magnanimity
Words trip me up
And you glide effortlessly across them
But please let me in
Because I am tired of just watching
Tired of being juxtaposed against something different
You will be safe in my existence
Common sense dictates it so
