Danger: Octopus

i cannot take the silence...
i keep teasing at a pulled tooth,
and it still hurts
-
why am i so clingy that it drives wives,
girlfriends, and sexters away
i grab tight to what i can
-
letting you breathe
and be as you are
have as many men as you want
-
as long as you include me
-
if i some times fall apart
its a hazard of the way i live
with my heart on my sleeve, 
-
i had my heart and soul back for a while
i was beginning to enjoy that old pain
but you ripped it out for me again
-
and you never told me what i did wrong
you never told me what i did right
i can only apologize
-
and accept the hazards of being an octopus tied to a stone
and hope that i find another chance to thaw
