I give myself away for ego trips
but I do nothing for those I love.
We haven't worked together on anything
for a long time....
Poetry, spice racks, camping, saving,
none of it's gotten done.
She gives as much of herself as she can
and still stand alone
and I give as little of my self as I can
and still keep her....
Why have I come this way?
Why am I throwing all my love away?
Ignorant to the end, fighting my fears
I rage, unable to stem
my fantasies or my tears.
