Journeys End

Do you ever do things you just know aren't good for you?
One more glass of wine, just another piece of pie,
Who will notice if I drive a little faster,
Just five more minutes in bed?
I know I'm my worst enemy,
But you're my second, third and forth.

How can I tell you how much I hurt,
When you turn your back and walk away.
How can I let you know, that the anger inside,
Is just a frightened little girl,
Too scared of letting go.
If you love them, set them free,
I know that's what they say,
But they're not you and they're not me.

Communication is the key,
Without it, the doors are locked, the journeys end.
How sad I fail to share with you,
How lonely it feels, in fear of reprisal.
Eggshells form my path everyday,
They lead the way, the walkway to our future.

Why don't you think a little harder,
Before you spew out all those words,
Before you open your mouth and spat out all of that hatred.
No more time to take us back
To the moment before you smashed our love,
Ground your foot into the shards,
Until all that remained, was a powdery dust
Carried away in the wind, just a memory of us.

I won't lay down and let you walk over me any more.
I wont' pretend that it doesn't matter.
Behind this stony facade hides a vulnerable person,
Always teetering on the edge
Always close to danger.
You know all this, you know me well.
You really should know better
And I really think you do.
