Cried Wolf

Nearing dawn and still the thoughts won't shut off

Tossing all around the sheets to have the chatter cease

You were there when I had needed you, but now that you're not

I'll have to find another way for me to try and get calm

Highly probable now that I am no more than a figment

A pigment on your canvas brushed over beyond belief

Consider me diabolical. Almost unrecognizable

You're touch was like a Tyelonal providing me relief

I can cry wolf like I have in the past

My defensive mechanisms are commonly lambasted

Encased inside yearning for you to fondle my hair

Instead today I'm three-waying with self-loathing and grace

It meant the world to hear you say goodnight before we'd sleep

Now It's vaguely audible but still on repeat

The sensation is persistent even though you are so distant

I am wistful almost daily but that's as natural as I breathe

Hard to accept that its over and it's totally damned

Sobering truth is I want to run to you so bad but I can't

My life's an Aesop fable. Come and learn a lesson from it

On your bedside table for whenever you want it

Seems like it's been a 100,000 days without you

Counting the hours makes me malleable to reach out

Thats a bad idea. Your shadow is too valuable

And never have I thought that I would leave you all alone

Like you left me, or rather like they all have

A love so strong that I ended up blinded

Still trying to find the same embrace that I coveted

The one you gave is gone as yesterday and I'm in trouble

My heart goes out to those in the same boat

All ties severed due every little scapegoat

How can an estrangement hold this much power

To where I cower on the floor in the middle of a shower?

The wolf is back and he's waving his affidavit

Stating that he'll never run away again, he swears (I swear)

It's up to you believe it and your decision is fair

If you decide that you're leaving give me some time to prepare

Please don't turn your back on me. Do not close the door

That leads the way into your room which corresponds into your soul

If anyones' to kill a good thing it's to be me

I beg of you to refrain from from fucking with the routine

Feel like my heart is stuck in my throat

Knowing that you moved on. Knowing that you're gone

Recalling when I was with you has become so exhausting

I knew My wolf tears would come back to haunt me

After the crying stops and the ducts run dry

Compunction will plague me when you leave me all alone
