I Can Resist Anything, Except Temptation - Patient Sixty-Seven

I wish there was less amongst it all that had to be said

It’s hard to understand things are sometimes better off unsaid

I wish things were sometimes better left untold

If they were, our struggles never had to begin & unfold

There’s so much left to say

I can barely breathe

Accept this for what it is

And you won’t be deceived

I’m not expecting this to just fade away

And if it doesn’t

I’ll be stuck with nothing but my regret to pave the way

If you’re here with me, I need to know

I’m doing everything I can to grow

Believe in me, I needed you

The truth speaks for itself

We need to find our sense of hope

Easier said than done I know

I want you to be better off

This situation only gets worse

It’s just

By the time you know that, you’ll be long gone

Handling being left on my own

Maybe that’s what hurts me most

I couldn’t find you, we were so close

Things would’ve been different if I knew you from the start

You always said if I found a way

That you would let me in someday

There’s so much left to say

I can barely breathe

Accept this for what it is

And you won’t be deceived

I’m not expecting this to just fade away

If it doesn’t

I’ll be stuck with nothing but my regret to pave the way

You are my darkest adversary
