a fool’s proposition

i seek you only when it’s easy / & refuse to humble all of myself before your feet / i call your name only when i’m bleeding / when you demand commitment, i offer you nothing / foolishly, i question why i am unsatisfied & empty / i keep you at an arm’s length, but beg your hand to lead / closer to the comfort of where i want to be / i know your love will stay, so i justify my behavior before i flee / i’ll humble my heart that’s so self-deceiving / if you say ‘everything else you can keep’
