"Circular Concepts" is a working title... Written as timestamped.

Oh, and I've noticed that I've neglected to date a good number of these things... If they're undated, that means I wrote them as timestamped.


Like hoops for the jumping
These rings keep exchanging
From you to me and vice versa
And when we're upset we just return them

But it never seems to last long
'Though it's been dragged out forever
Every time something goes wrong
You fix it by giving me fever
Still neglected far too much
It's improved but only a bit
I'm still wading, waiting and such
Though I'm full up with this s**t
I can't seem to forget the way
That this used to feel to me
But I'm so tired of fighting these days
In vain, I just keep hoping

Ever, hoping
I'm still wearing
Your ring
Always hoping

Against my better judgement
I say a silent prayer to you
And, your ring, I keep it
Because I don't know what else to do
I just can't seem to give up
No matter how many times I try
I guess I just can't seem to get enough
A glutton for punishment, am I
Well it certainly fits my life's motif
This must just be the way I am
I clench my pain while I beg for relief
This hypocrisy, be damned

I am a walking contradiction
With a bleeding heart condition
Maybe you shouldn't have tied that string so tight
