I don’t want the same anymore LyricsI am aware of
how comfortable
I am being ignored
how comfortable
I am living
on a tightrope
waiting for a man’s
attention to somersault
and land on me.
More disconcerting
is when he
communicates frequently
Trains of texts
arriving curiously
on time
Instinctively I feel
overwhelmed
retreat into a corner
the rules
of the game
interrupted.
I have high tolerance
for low contact
which attracts
ramshackle types;
the emotionally rusty
with brains like boxes
of nuts and bolts
Pairs of magnets
simultaneously repelling
and attracting each other
Stuck
in our
own tragicomedy.
I don’t want to be prey
for old patterns
I’ve read books, taken courses
gone to therapy
Please believe me, God
when I say:
I don’t want the same anymore.
