Not to want

I can't love anything.
I can't hold my hand steady
Keep my face 
I lose it all 
Buckling in the crush


Your wit you listen 
I think at least 
And wrong isn't the word
Desperate isn't the feeling 
Maybe more like in the way
Scarlett O'Hara Green gown staring down 
Wanting something getting nothing.

All that time wasted 
What did you say? Could you come again? Finding fuel to take us back 
In time
And that what passes us 
Is all the time
And when I asked you to drive me to California and you said to rent a car and then I knew. 
You don't have the time for me and I guess I don't either
I can barely afford moments with myself 
And why do I feel like shit and why do I go there 
Trying to be somewhere with you but 
We never even left we never were even 
Walking side by side but you take off 
Motorbike just right 
And I get it wrong every single time.

The moral or the parable 
Is that always, forever, until the end of time. If someone wants to be in your life they'll be in it. No hard feelings, no forced hands...they'll be there or at least try and then you'll know.
