10. Impersonal

Gifts are all pre-packed
in brown paper bags
no gift wrap or tags for you

Love notes all pre-signed
with those common rhymes
sterile closing lines make it

Impersonal, cold and unreachable
getting too close is so unbearable
but, changing your ways won’t be unavoidable
it’s undeniable
in love you can’t be impersonal

You live without pain
net no loss or gain
nothing to complain about.

Stay just out of touch
never say too much
never raise a fuss or doubt that you’re

CHORUS

Maybe all you need
is some soul’s sympathy
an opportunity to change
Someone who can see
impersonality
is just your way to be afraid.

that’s why you’re

CHORUS
