Resentments I bought with the last of my wage Paid for in full still I owe her some change Reluctantly propose another misguided truce Stuck in a loop of mutual abuse When i leave she finds pain only i can relieve (or so she pleads and claims) I return to find more hurt in exchange for her relief I wave a white flag Save a bit of face (or at least just mask some shame) Tomorrow might i find a way to hate her same as she has shown today? So, maybe, when she begs again for me to return to her or stay - i can draw some strength before it’s gone on and on so long that fate finds it’s too late — To find respect in my reflection as i mirror old mistakes - impossible, and it seems I need not only leave her as I’ve escaped a thousand times and time and time again results have proven plain as day that I’m hopeless and insane- i need to forgive myself for how i feel and felt (find faith in me again) Admit that this was never love and above all stay away

Definitely Indecision Was Always To Blame (or perhaps it’s just me)
