Nothing

There you go again,
Giving me the stare down.
What can I do for you, Sir?
Is there something more that you need from me?

You've had my time.
Wasted
You've had my patience.
Worn
You've had my mouth.
Tasted
You've had my heart.
Torn

I can feel your eyes on me.
Unnerving
I hear your thoughts loud and clear.
What value does your life hold without me?
Is that the question?
It's not for me to answer.

See, I was all wrapped up
In your promises
Your dressed up words.
The heart is a fool, like that.
Stays blind on purpose sometimes.

But than I lost count...
You know?
Of all the tears, I mean.
And one day it was just completely clear.

Don't cry for me now.
You never felt a thing while I was drowning.
You just held me under further.
Well, how about this...
For you, I'll throw a line.

But I'm not trying to save you, you see.
Because you've always been well skilled at pulling yourself under.
I'll just wish you the best,
But recommend you keep your eyes to yourself,
Because when I look back at you...
I see nothing that I want.

There's your line.
