Patience

"I'm like a bad doctor. I'm about to lose all my patients."
That was your line
That was my favorite
And then I lost it all
It was supposed to be a line
It was supposed to be my favorite
But it was a precursor to everything you would do
You lost all patience for me
For my relationship
For my words
For my songs
For my heart
For my will to belong
On the drop of a dime
With my drop of one line
In the e-mail I wrote
"Are we friends?"
You lost it all
No response did I hear
For nearly 6 months and everyone says
We've been too close to give it all up
But when it comes down to it I was just like you
I loved that line because it was how I felt
I knew there was one more chance for you to make things up
For you to suck things up
And be my friend
For you to stop your lies
For you to meet my true romance
For you to look him straight in the eyes and know that he's my man
But you dipped and dodged with your excuses
You acted like being there would be useless
You took away every option there was to meet
So when I asked you if you were my friend
I was already the bad doctor
I had already been caught
I was sitting in court for malpractice
I was ready to lose it all
So that day I confessed
I lost all my patients...all my patience
For you
