Careless Whisper

Nothing like them, never a part
of the people like my start
when it tells me wrong from right
activating my fight or flight

It starts off shallow like a pond
until it grows too far beyond
my control such as a wave
for I'm not someone worth the save

The careless whisper of that figure
who lives within with only a s
to contribute to my day to day
why won't it just go away?

You'd think it maybe my soulmate
however that is only the bait
for it doesn't want me to survive
even though it's not a right it can exercise

The murmur that is spoken of
never treads well above
a tone that only I can hear
cause there is nobody else near
