correspondence to your ignorance

control

This time, it's not about what's right

or who gets the final say.

[More important things are at stake]

I can't let go of what I never had,

and I wonder if I ever had you.

People placed orders on who you should be

and you gave it to them.

I couldn't love what you had become.

[adding complications to this love]

Love, I'd be the sacrificial lamb to our cause

of being one.

Too bad I don't wear that scent of perfume...

maybe I'd never know.
