Take It Or Leave It

Standing here a victim of a slanderous tongue Pleading my innocence with a song left unsung Easing my troubles with liquor and cigarettes Trying to imagine what happened inside the silhouettes Then the devilish arrived with a mission of disruption guiding the ghosts to rest upon their shoulders. Cleverly aware of their sprees and wicked schemes as the incense burns and the holy smoke smolders. The grandest of the impostors is positioning himself to commence a ruckus with dishonesty and corruption. My eyes have witnessed the coming of the soldiers marching without conscious and simply following orders. Our miscommunication developed without a sign or clause Nevertheless my passion wasn't the reason and certainly not the cause. Since this time I have appealed to cross your borders To open your compassion and soften your troubled woes to dulcify your weary soul and free you from assumptions. However our quarrel has never ended and maybe because the broken heart from yesteryear is still sitting on the shelve. Then you break your silence with a gush of pure emotion. It came as a cascade and to my astonishment like a dying rose. You say 'Take it or leave it' well this isn't so easy I begged you for forgiveness but you turned to the wall And you say to 'Take it or Leave it' I pain with depression I simply cannot go on with the last words of our call. Please change your heart and hear my sighs I wander hours in the cold with our love as obsession Tripping like a clumsy clown over my own feet Thinking like a dimwit shuffling cards so incomplete Reminiscing your smiles and kisses and beauteous face am I. Lost you in a moment of carelessness and feeling two feet tall. Devoted so many hours of defending you from ridicule What became of dedication where we never became cruel? Remember me gentle and free Never hurting anyone but you hold the key Patient I stay; closed in my shell Living in a turbulent hell Yet I ask you again Still you say 'Take it or Leave it' Please change your mind about me No devil am I Losing feelings hurts so much I just can't explain Overflowing affections do not seem to halt the pain Let me stroke your hair and ease your tensions and sooth you My love will resonate throughout the night to seduce you with my heart on a silver platter and a bouquet of flowers to accompany you with a shower of incessant tears in our final hours.
