Give & Take

He can�t let that girl go�
Just throw in the towel, fool.
Every time he seems interested
She discards him like a tool.

He tells her that he loves her,
And she pretends he doesn�t exist.
He tells her he must leave her�
�I need you� is the response he gets.

What exactly should he do?
A mage couldn�t unravel this mystery.
She won�t even look at him when he stays.
When he leaves, she begs on her hands & knees.

He doesn�t see the point anymore,
He�s fooled himself into captivity.
Getting a tire, bored expression
From always repeating the same activity.
