The 2 A.M Writer

I see your eyes glimmer 

Your hunger isn't stifled at all

You wanted more, and you got more

So just what will be enough?

Yet you, all you do is play dumb

Started with my smile and help

Now my melancholy eyes and personal hell

You smoke me away, and yet you ask for me to crawl back

Answer me through truth and fact,

Pity, pity, pity

Weep, weep, weep

This isn't the final possession given

Even I know that
