Here you are again
just like always
With your hurtful words and your awkward tongue
Here you always are

I flinch and I hide
I hide and I cringe
But I can't get away
I never even had a chance

I pretend and I imagine
I imagine and I ignore
But I can't get away

Here your again
just like always
With your bumbling hands and your dirty, secret past
Here you always are

I rage and I stay
I stay and I hate
A little more with each time

But I can't get away
I never could

Flinching and cringing
Pretend and ignore
I rage and I hate
But only inside my heart

Because I won't get away
Never could
Never have
Never even had a chance

You have me now
just as you always have
Like a child with a toy
His favorite broken toy




If I don't say it...who will?

Thank you.  You know how each piece you write has a special place and meaning - this one, for me, is especailly important because I've never said it before...I think it may be my favorite too

The word choice that you employ and your structure were really impressive.

I love it, especially how it all comes together at the end. Very touching.
