Nodus Tollens

Everything I give
Everything I am
drips with a desire
For you to understand
I can see you
You're crystal clear
From behind foggy windows
I glance, I gaze, I peer
You look in
I wonder...do you actually see?
Are you telling me what I want to hear?
Just giving the caged animal a treat?

Something happened to me
I can't pinpoint what
I never thought myself to be fragile
But here I am, nearly corrupted by the thought
Knowing that all it will take
Is one breath of deceit
To take me away and 
Sweep me off my feet
Off to a place
I promised God I'd never go
A place that would make hell
Seem like a cozy little home

Why do I do this?
Why do I give it all
Knowing full well
That moderation is key
And this isn't good for my health
Why do I give you everything
And expect nothing in return?
Is this unconditional
Or will I just simply never learn?

I believe in something
I don't think many do
And I think I'd lose faith
If you let me down too
But I've grown smarter this time
So this is why I simply request
That if you let me down, do it gently
Don't leave me locked alone in my head
Let me know clearly
Exactly whats being done, whats being said
So I can offer you my blessing
And leave you with my respect.

I don't NEED you now, this i know for sure
I don't want to be saved, because you're not my cure
I just want a love so powerful, that it can endure
The plague of narcissism that aims to tear away what could be mine and yours

Just fight with me

Please?
