Tease on

Tease on, it will not bother me at all
You took a love and caused my heart to fall
The funny thing I really didn’t care
It’s your betrayal that still casts a pall

I rarely think of this but on this night
My mind is fixed upon what’s wrong and right
You were not friend and yet you were not foe
But now I doubt I could abide your sight

The clock is ticking and the hour grows late
I need a respite from affairs of state
Did you dispose me to give trust to none
I don’t believe it I control my fate

You blew it off then I’m the prideful one
The shell I have will never come undone
Perhaps I partially owe that to you
The wars I fight have already been won

In other words I cannot let this go
It is as permanent as sun and snow
It’s not a bother it’s more like an itch
You keep your scalpel I’ll keep all I know
