Yule Fence

Allow me to go back and rewind our time as friends
When I promised myself I'd never let you or anyone in

Especially the stereotypical people in your community
Where I believed in your heart I'd have equal immunity

You always say, "I signed up for this," 
'Cuz somewhere you succumbed to my poisonous kiss

At first, you admitted to just wanting to f--k
Until you realized my worth & value - & your dumb luck

We need to improve our consistency, communication, chemistry, and our connection -
If we choose to make each other our greatest selection

You're focused for a few days - then you'll give up
Which creates the feeling of me never being enough

It instills eggshell-walking - and creates a harsh and crumbling distance
'Cuz some days you're madly in-love with me - and other days, you're stuck on the fence

On a regular basis, you're indecisive about if it's me you want
Or if like so many others, you're here to use, hurt, and taunt

Which emotion or feeling do I come to believe?
Who is it that you're trying to deceive?

You love me hard one day, and the next day harder
Sometimes I wonder what we could've done smarter

You're here for a few days - never consistent
But the "love" you're envisioning has resistance

Your communication says you don't have the time
Because you won't let me in - you'll be hard to find

The condescending personality you tend to display
Makes me wonder if just petty games are at play

Your words and actions are very much the opposite
Because closer to you and your heart - you won't let me get

So like a fishing pole you cast me out and reel me in
Your "love" for me is constantly on the fence

You want to let me in for the wrong reasons I fear
When half the time you're never here to wipe these tears

What's the use of a "relationship" when I'm still alone?
And more then half the time, you won't respond via phone

What's the purpose of us? Where are you trying to go with me?
'Cause we ain't getting nowhere when you refuse to see

How can you ever become an ideal perfect father
When you care less about us, than your addiction and lager?

Your actions are so far away from your words
And it's sad when I know (without a doubt) how amazing you are, and how you can be so superb

But you display every "red flag" of someone who is simply disinterested in their spouse and/or lady
I don't understand the pettiness, the games, or how every three or so days you can be so unbelievably mean and shady

You've asked me on three different ways
Within a matter of consecutive days

If we should break up and/or resume as friends
When there wasn't really a beginning - how can you ask for an end?
