Give Up

Give up, I say, give up Quit while you are ahead Do not linger near my door And get out of your head Don’t hurt the post now Lean away from there If you have forgotten That you do not care Do not hold a vigil Against my meager door Because in the morning I will not ask for more Please don’t make it hard For me to cross the mat And take my leave at once And never ever come back
