Inside I always felt I wasn't

worthy of your love

I feared you'd someday realize this and

take off like a dove

To keep myself protected I put

up a barricade

And kept my feelings locked behind

where you could not invade

Then one day you decided you were

through with playing games

You left me in the dust and I'm the

only one to blame

By trying not to lose you I was

pushing you away

But I discovered this so late...

you left at my dismay

The road we take to avoid our fate

Is the place we meet it most

And it's this truth that nails our feelings

To the whipping post

This aphorism of our lives

Can be our edifice

And if you don't believe this proverb

Just ask Oedipus
