I'm Done With You

The title implies it all. These are lyrics accompanying a piano melody I wrote. The things one hears repeatedly in those very intense relationships.

 

“I’m Done With You”

 

I'm non-compliant, far from pliable

God knows you can't bend me to your will

Rigid as a board, unrelenting

Try as you do, can't keep me still

“Hush up now, and don't say a word

You talk too much, and I am bored”

“Oh such a clever girl”- until I'm not

Because you've made me so distraught

My mind is spinning, you use vicious words

Leaves me bleeding, you hold the sword

 

I want to break free, but I'm tied to you

Anchored heart, to a bottomless pit

Helpless, but complicit too

Victim down: ready, aim- HIT!

“I'm done with you..”

 

You’re such a high, it's gets me off

Such an addiction, it feels so good

But no prescription: Antedote

walk away from you: I won't  

Withdrawal would come

And what would I do?

I breathe you in and breathe you out

Try to scream but can't make a sound

When sleep comes, such a rarity

You find me in dreams: no clarity

 

I want to break free, but I am caught

Anchored mind, I have been taught

Helpless, but complicit too

Lifeless girl: ready, aim- HIT!

“I’m done with you!”

But I still didn’t scare

You made me love and feel

Highs and lows: was it real?!

 

Ready, Aim, HIT

Ready, Aim, HIT

Ready, Aim, HIT

 

I want to break free, but I am trapped

Buried now, under siege

I couldn't break free, now I will be

Helpless, but so complicit too

Help! Ready, Aim, HIT!

Don’t say it!

Too late: “I'm done with you!”

Author's Note

the timing of this piece is largely dependent upon the accompanying melody, but I hope it is acceptable as a standalone piece.

I wish i could hear the melody. I thought the lyrics were amazing. ..the strength and defeat came through your words ...well done.

Thank you Hebe. I wouldn't say I'm the best composer, but it has emotion. Thank you for your kind words, defeat is an excellent word. It is exactly how this relationship made me feel- like prey taken down by a bow, with the shot planned and premediated.

If I do I will boldly place a link, but- I feel far more exposed posting myself serenading than I do copy pasting from my Mac Book writings LOL. Thanks for the encouragement
