Whatever you have left to give
don't let him take away...
People will always need everything
you can't give,
and what you can't give is more than he wants,
and something he'll grow to crave.
Don't slip through his fingers
and end up crushed beneath his toes.
He won't ever know how inviting
the ground can be
until you've been there once or twice.
He doesn't deserve to know anything
but his bent conscience
that can only wither and die.
Everything dies when taken away
from what it needs to be nourished by most.
Don't be his nourishment
and he'll never be your nightmare...
