Step sideways in this present moment.

Temper’s rising.
I keep it at bay.
Remembering you,
the images play.

Can’t seem to shake,
this nasty habit.
Trying to get over you,
I’m no good at it.

The things I saw,
differ, from those you said.
Can’t help the things I see,
inside my head.

The damage is done,
I’ll never be the same.
Locked myself in,
now no one has a name.

The nameless,
the shameless.
They’re waiting at my door,
knocking with their promises.

Can’t let myself be fooled.
People can only hurt.
They’re the cause of my problems,
and the blood on my shirt.

I cannot focus,
I’m being lured away.
They’re pulling me out,
so I can see the light of day.

Fearfully I pull from them.
They’re sure to do me wrong.
I’m scared they’ll scare me away.
It’s so hard to fight their song.

I’ve wanted to feel love,
for quite some time now.
I can’t, I can’t do it.
There’s no way it’ll touch me.

Like magnetic forces,
the opposites attract.
I offer my love,
and get nothing back.
