The Ultimatum

This afternoon I gave an ultimatum to him We'll see if he shows up one more time tonight again I told him to come tonight - or don't ever come at all I'm right here for him always - but he ignores my call He wants to be with me - but he doesn't want to be a couple To me - that's red flags, and that sounds like straight trouble! Why do I consistently feel like he has secrets everywhere? Why do I feel like there's things he adamantly won't share? The two other men in my life tell me the same After two months, I should know more than just his name He always tells me he's struggling in life a lot But that's why I have a partner - when days are hard to talk But he says absolutely nothing - expecting that I should know But how am I supposed to know something you don't show? There's something similar about other people saying the same And they don't know anything about you either, but your name When I explain in detail to them exactly how it's been with you They all feel like I do - that you're not telling me the truth There's a feeling in me wondering if you have split personality I feel like all those pills & antipsychotics are shifting your reality There seems to be a split in you about one who loves me and one who does not A lot of sh!t you're not answering, or you'll say you forgot...
