Patterns
Love's Changing Patterns: A Poetic Unraveling by Poison Apple
Lyrics
I get too afraid when patterns start to change
The speaker becomes anxious or fearful when familiar behaviors or routines change.
From the way that you talk to
Changes are noticed in the way the person communicates verbally.
The way you say my name
The way the person addresses the speaker has altered.
You don't look at me the same
There's a change in the way the person looks at the speaker.
But you say I'm not to blame
Despite changes, the person denies faulting the speaker.
You listen to yourself when you talk
The person listens to their own words but doesn't hear the speaker.
But never hear a word I say
The person disregards what the speaker says.
And I'm always at fault for
The speaker feels blamed for not reciprocating the love received.
Love you can't reciprocate
The speaker is emotionally drained and decides to end the relationship.
I've had enough
The speaker has reached their limit emotionally.
I'm out of love
The speaker is no longer in love.
I get nervous sweats when you decline my calls
The speaker feels anxious when the person declines their calls.
Love you isn't a easy task at all
Love with this person is challenging and demanding.
I wonder what's all this for
The speaker questions the purpose or meaning of the relationship.
You're happy but I'm sad and I'm crying on the floor
The person seems happy while the speaker is unhappy, leading to emotional distress for the speaker.
You listen to yourself when you talk
Similar to line 7, the person listens to their own words but neglects the speaker.
But never hear a word I say
The person continues to ignore the speaker's words.
And I'm always at fault for
The speaker feels blamed for the lack of reciprocal love.
Love you can't reciprocate
The speaker reiterates emotional exhaustion and desire to end the relationship due to unreturned love.
I've had enough
The speaker has reached a breaking point emotionally.
I'm out of love
The speaker declares they no longer feel love.
