That Kid Asking For Candy

It's too hard to please you,honey...
but that's not my personality;
I'm easily taken for a fool...
that's me ...waiting on you!

I've been taken
like a captive man
in a blindfold and you held me
by that puppet's string;
but you became too greedy...
for the happiness I couldn't bring!

Blame it on me,I gave you too much instead;
I felt like that kid asking for candy...
but that was too irresistible and dandy,
easy to give into your wild demand!

And unwillingly to hear me,
you throw stones at me,
instead of soothing love:
cutting off the flame
and acting so brave,
but I can't cross over:
there's no bridge...
only deep water!

Forget about that kid
 asking for candy...
I won't stare at you
and whine in pity;
and I stick to these words seriously...
if truth is in you,keep your word!
