My Battle
I sensed your reservation
But you were too sweet to tell me so
Still I pressed on with my agenda
Oblivious of concern for you though
My faults and failures resurfaced
And once again, I feel remorse
Lately, it feels like a recurring battle
But the indiscretion's all mine, of course
It's not often I act impulsively
But at times, I react when I should pause
You see, with you, I have a weakness
Perhaps our connection is the cause?
I suppose the reason doesn't matter
The bottom line, I need more self restraint
I'm lucky you don't give up on me
When I struggle with boundaries in place
