Never Stop Waiting
You're as sweet as vinegar
As soothing as a banshee
Your prickly smile is caustic
Your eyes, trebuchets of pain
Why is it, then,
That your name alone cajoles me
Into silent defeat,
And we start over again
Your carping tone is murder
And your callous remarks are blinding
Your diva antics make me nauseous,
And I just keep on sighing
I take you for what you are:
A drama queen supreme
There's nothing about you I should like
Yet somehow I capitulate,
And you again manipulate
Everything you are, I hate
So why can't I get you out of my mind?
I did your little dance,
I gave you a sixth and seventh chance
Why is it so hard
To let you go?
You send me spirling out of control;
It's time for me to fold
Cause this is getting old
But I'm so hung up,
A love-sick pup
And I'm beginning to think
That even as I sink,
I'll never stop waiting
For you
