Press Decline

I am craving what I cannot have

The unforbidden fruit for me

That is a chat with you

All I want is to talk to you

With no strings attached

Just to go back to the past

I sometimes miss what we had

But when I think about it

I realise I am better off this way

Because you are bad for me

You make me feel inferior

And treat me unfairly

So why would anyone miss that

Miss being put down

And dirty looks thrown our way

For me, it is best to walk on

When you come near me

And press decline when you call

I need my sanity

I have enough going on in my head

Without you intruding my thoughts
