this or that

This or that

 

Would you like

This or that?

No not either

I don’t have time

No time for this

And no time for that

Would you be interested

In a box or a pairs of socks

My life is a box

And socks really do rock

But I’ve told you once

But I’ll tell you again

I don’t have time

For this box

Or for your rocking pairs of socks

I have things to do

Hearts to break

And disturbances to cause

I don’t have time

For your confined feelings

Or your rivers filled to the brim

 With apologetic affection

 I have time for today and tomorrow

The present and the future

So stop bringing up the sorrowful past

Leave things

As muddled as they are

As they are

Because they won’t change

Or rift

Or peak

I should have known you wouldn't understand

The way I used to hold your hand

Is under the never ending file

Of band

Just like the warm hugs we shared

And the thoughts of maybe you did care

The conflicted feelings of you and me

Do not embrace my entire being

Maybe someday we will not be apart

But until then

I release you

My heart
