Losing My Youth

obsessive
psychotic
desperate
why the fuck can't he deal with this?
be a man already
I can't take it anymore
the constant phone calls
the crying
the begging
I HATE IT!
it drives me nuts
I don't want to waste any part of my youth
being tied down to somebody
I want to be free to experiment
& find out what I really want
because at this point
I don't even know what it is I want
but I do know this
I WANT OUT!
I want to be left alone
I want my freedom
I want my space
in fact
I NEED to be left alone
I NEED my freedom
& my space
why can't you respect that?
I'm not a fucking cat
I don't have nine lives
I have one
& I want it to be
how I think it should be
without you
no, there is no other guy
but many opportunities have come and gone
been wasted
no million telephone calls a day
no begging or pleading
I just want to be me
I want to have a good time
& I don't think growing dependent on someone like me
is a good thing at all
I am NOT a person that should be depended on
it's not that I don't care
I DO care
just not in the right way
I do love you, but only as a friend
because that is the only way I can see
in my mind.
