these cough drops hardly ease the pain
you put me through you put me through
I’ll never understand again
or talk to you or talk to you
I hear excuses day and night
it never seems quite worth the fight
I really only want to be
just a bit less confused
but really I just feel I need
to talk to you, to talk to you
to talk to whom?
Just someone I thought I used to know.
Or used to think I knew, rather.
Interesting use of repetition. It really drives the meter. Bravo!
