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...
