Take this hatred.
A pause. A breath. A kiss.
Take this pain.
Another stare. Another gaze.
Throw it away, don't recycle it please.
Another verse. Another word. Another song.
Because the day you looked at me.
She strides towards them. He stares in shock.
I never thought I would find my feet.
A slap on the face. Throwing away that rock.
I had to stand, introduce myself.
"I didn't kiss her." You'll cry that night.
But maybe my feet should have stayed unable to move.
But I don't want to argue. I'll ignore you while you fight.
Then I wouldn't have met you.
You grab my arm. You look in my eyes.
Take this pain.
"Why would I lie?"
Show it to yourself.
"Please leave." I cry.
The picture book from hell.
"I love you." You say,
When you discover the pain you've caused…
"We shouldn't fight this way."
We've already loved and lost.
"Then leave. Don't fight at all."
But my heart was too much of a cost.
He left. I just want to bawl.
We've already loved and lost.
I didn't really want him to leave at all.
I need to pay off the pain I caused.
I run. After him.
I still love you. He simply paused.
"Wait!" I cry.
He kisses me.
"I forgive you!"
Another lie.
A pause. A breath. A kiss.
One more lie to trust.
