Half A Ear

Half a ear infected and incurable 
therefore half that ear was lost 
because half a ear went about 
with a prescription but no medicine

Time in its linear motion 
and I, fluctuating emotions 
mixed up by mixed up memories 
caught myself in wild confusion

Were the good pasts more than bad?
What we had done were wrong than good?
What have I done wrong?

The promise, like my biggest investment
in it my last hopes for a better us
your promise, cost me half a ear
wasted in longing, even for a whisper will do
how I see my own stupidity
that in some ways, foolish loyalty

Half a ear was gone
don't take the other half, please!
Why won't you fulfill your promise...
