[Poetry] I Won't Succumb to You

Know how I am living my way?
Just my shadow, waking up in the middle of lonely nights?
I wish you'd please me, I wish you'd kiss me;
I can't explain what I felt for you
When I got your one touch or two;
I can't go back there now and don't need to anymore.
Because now I know that -

I am not the one,
That you were thinking of, that you were making out;
I knew that when your heart just closed its doors
To me.

I know I can't take it anymore;
I know I can't bear it without you anymore;
You said you'd never be severing our love,
You've been playing your games and now I have had enough!
I have done it once before, but -
This time I won't succumb, I'd walk away from you,
I won't succumb, I won't succumb at all, to you.

You have told me lies, teased me with half-truths;
You asked for one more chance and then deceived me;
There is no love at all in you anymore,
There is just no love in you anymore.
You'd never expected that I'd be moving on,
You've played your games baby but babes you are so wrong.
Because now I know that -

I am not the one,
That you were thinking of, that you were making out;
I knew that when your heart just closed its doors
To me

I know I can't take it anymore;
I know I can't bear it without you anymore;
You said you'd never be severing our love,
You've been playing your games and now I have had enough!
I have done it once before, but -
This time I won't succumb, I'd walk away from you,
I won't succumb, I won't succumb at all, to you.

I've kowtowed nuff, but no more kissing the ground you walk on, babes
Danced nuff to your tunes, but I am past them all now so don't call on me, babes
You say I shouldn't have counted on you, well I learned to do that the hard way
On me neither your eyes nor your words hold any more sway

You don't love me anymore, I know.
I have done it once before, but,
This time I won't succumb, I'd walk away from you

No, no, never, I won't succumb at all
I won't succumb, I won't succumb, to you!
