Time With You (A Pantoum)

I’m just asking for a little more time

just a few more days with you in my mind

It’s hard to let you go

here I go again acting like you were ever mine.

just a few more days with you in my mind

I lie to myself, something I learned from you

here I go again acting like you were ever mine

all you ever did was tangle my thoughts like you did my sheets

I lie to myself, something I learned from you

rather than face the truth you hide in the dark

all you ever did was tangle my thoughts like you did my sheets

yet you continue to haunt me and crave my attention

rather than face the truth you hide in the dark

and that makes it easier to let you go

yet you continue to haunt me and crave my attention

But you’ve taken too much of my time already.
