I Give Up

I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
(and I will give up this fight)

...

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't



---

It's unfair to ask of you not to give up on me, while here I am with one foot out the door.

I'm tired, I'm pissed off, I'm hurt. Terribly, terribly hurt.

I'm inclined to say that everything's changed... but now that I think about it, nothing's changed.

Nothing has changed.

They always win, while I always lose.

Why do I always lose? [Fuck it, I don't want to sound whiny.]

I just want to push you away from me. No, make that I want to pull myself away from you.

And so that I will not lose to them again. Because there will be no more choice to be made.

Because I will pull myself away from you. And you will just have them. Only them.

Because... I will give up this fight.

I just can't make you love me.

Before you draw any conclusions... I'm just having the worst case of the blues. So the drama, really.

Generally I'm okay but I will be seen frequently with my head up in smoke, a lit cigarette dangling from one hand, and the other holding a scalding cup of coffee. I am now averaging half a pack a day, with three cups of coffee.

It's just so the drama.

    karla, salamat. mantra ko na yan dati pa, na god will not let me go through something he knows na hindi ko kaya ;)

    skeet, maybe you're right. maybe i'm just feeling blue because i expected married life to be different. well, the only difference now is there's a contract signed. hehe ;)
