just in time

in a twilight ember, you soared

through the night sky

through my window

landing on my thighs

you never knew the power of your words

wasted them on minutes with your friends

i wanted every inch of you

until the very end

you're on the other line

with another voice

someone else who's probably your other option

and i'm not much of a choice

although just in time you would've been the perfect guy

i guess i'm just wasting hours

thinking you'd love me again

i'm the one that's in power

i could be scathing, scornful, or worse

hang you up by your feet

watching you gasp for air

begging for your life, it's up to me

i could cut you loose

feed you to the wolves

where you're someone else's issue

wish you'd disappear and i wouldn't miss you

although just in time you would've been the perfect guy

i guess i'm just wasting hours

thinking you'd love me again

i'm the one that's in power
