In The Clutch
Can I unquestionably depend on you in the clutch
Will you stably provide support for me like a crutch
Is that just way too much for me to even ask for
When I'm down, will you lift me up from the floor
Or will you walk out the door like those before you
Can I consistently depend on you like a 24 hr crew
Or will you get bored, tired and then retire
I wanna be the object of your fire & desire
Guess all things expire at some point in time
Yet, I'd do a bid for you if loving you's a crime
Would you do a dime for me or just ring the bell
Signaling the end as I offend without getting bail
They say time reveals all things in due time
I'm looking for cues from you as you silently mime
Are you mine or am I making foolish, futile efforts
These questions need answers to improve my comfort
You've purported that I'm the man of your dreams
Unrequited love is how our relationship seems
Will my dream come true or will you become a nightmare
Is this just a game to you like ones at the county fair
Will you stably provide support for me like a crutch
Is that just way too much for me to even ask for
When I'm down, will you lift me up from the floor
Or will you walk out the door like those before you
Can I consistently depend on you like a 24 hr crew
Or will you get bored, tired and then retire
I wanna be the object of your fire & desire
Guess all things expire at some point in time
Yet, I'd do a bid for you if loving you's a crime
Would you do a dime for me or just ring the bell
Signaling the end as I offend without getting bail
They say time reveals all things in due time
I'm looking for cues from you as you silently mime
Are you mine or am I making foolish, futile efforts
These questions need answers to improve my comfort
You've purported that I'm the man of your dreams
Unrequited love is how our relationship seems
Will my dream come true or will you become a nightmare
Is this just a game to you like ones at the county fair

Amazing rhyme and flow. It’s one of those pieces that honestly asks the person “are you all in?”
Great work
Great work

Nice ink, Sir Damon
Sounds like a man trying to head off a "Dear John" letter
