The Cost of Living

Without hesitation I'm compelled to listen to you; I can't insist...you owe nothing of mine! Suddenly I lose, you win... for the cost of living has a price for anything! I thought it was all over...when I heard from you, "I'll stay!"...Poor me, I hadn't let you know...although the price I knew you would have asked, and in place of a tender heart: a rock! Whicht act says generosity... which means certainty? And I believed it was all over, and once and for all I surrender; the cost of living... has a price for anything!
