Still Shivs

I have given so much,
Opened myself up,
And still it is not enough;
In all of the endless possibilities,
I will be the last you see…
It’s not that I have given up,
As it is that perhaps all those possibilities,
Have exhausted themselves before giving up on me;
Yet I still believe in what is to come…
Still opened myself up,
Exposing the inner workings of my chest to fate;
Asking what is there left?
What haven’t you done?
What is it you think you can teach me about love?
What is it about this heart that still drums on?
What is it that I can lose when it’s already gone?
So go on — and do what you do,
Because I promise — I have seen it all before,
It sure as hell won’t be anything new;
And fate…
If you’re still listening,
If you can still hear me,
Don’t try to trick me;
I know your games — your schemes,
You think you’re real slick,
Putting that girl in my dreams,
And trying to convince me,
It was some kind of meant to be;
But you’re growing weak as I grow old,
Because there’s nothing you do,
That feels right or sticks — all you’ve got are shivs…
I have given so much,
Really opened myself up,
And yet it is still not enough;
Though I still want to know what is to come,
So go on and try to teach me about love…
