Take Note
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto

          It's like you notice
          I'm in a rush to leave
          When you're in a rush to leave me
          To chill with your friend I don't like
          'Cause they don't like me.
          I know you notice
          'Cause my voice changes tone
          You're always checkin' your phone
          Looking for the next excuse
          To pop out a diss.
          I'm left sayin' good-bye
          'Til who knows when
          After the good-night kiss.
          Hit or miss?
          You runnin' rampant
          And leaving me worried
          Then you come by
          To tell me the bad thing you've done
          But it's okay
          Because hey it's all in fun.
          RIGHT?
          This all leaves me wondering
          If I should stay
          Or run away
          My mind's all played
          'Cause you'll be sweet one day
          And mean the next
          I'm perplexed,
          This shit's too complex.
          Waiting for the day
          All this drama will go away.
          Tryin' to calm down,
          Wanna just chill out
          And relax,
          But alas,
          The day won't come
          Because life won't just give me a break
          Sometimes too hard to take
          For goodness sake,
          Do I have to spell it out?
          I can see I must be hard to read
          'Cause you still can't notice
          How much I care
          And how
          What you do
          Takes that away.

          Take note.
