My head spins when you appear. As it always has. Back when I loved you, when you were near, My balance off and sight unclear, I would hold you close to my heart, so dear Until you turned my love to fear. My stomach churns when you arrive. As it always has. I used to think that you kept me alive That without you, I couldn't survive. But every time I'd start to thrive, You'd pull me down. And nose dive. My hands shake when you're nearby. As they always have. Like before, when I bought every lie. Because "our love could never die". But, of course, I could never satisfy The man who loved to make me cry. Still fearful (although you've gone away), But I'm stronger now. After suffering through you every day, Through every single power play. I finally have the strength to say One day I'll forget you, but at least for today, I hate you. And that's okay.
