Your hands invade
(please don't.)
grasping blindly for something besides the lies you've willingly consumed
(this is nothing new.)
a masquerade of sincerity
(old wounds torn open.)
your voice betrays buried insecurities
(please don't touch.)
speaking volumes to those who choose to listen
(a chorus of misery.)
bringing to life the skeletons in your closet
(too many secrets.)
your mocking eyes mask a barely concealed lust
(please don't touch me.)
and twisted pleasure derived from bitterness
(i've come full circle.)
this time i will fight
(this time i will win.)

This time I will fight, this time I will win.

Powerful words. I say them in my head and it makes ME feel powerful. I needed that.
