I watch the lights on the ocean
I count the leaves on the trees
if it wasn’t for your indecision
there’d be nothing between you and me
I catch your eye — it’s a showdown
anticipate your every move
purposely find contradiction
escalate nothing to prove
instants of calm fly by mocking
all poking fun at a smile
she pulls a face in the mirror
lately it’s just not our style
losing control to stay under
fighting and screaming down walls
worry has made you a martyr
washed up and left for the birds
