To say I was caught by surprise
Would be a ridiclious understatement.
For awhile, what once was my place
Had become our place, but now?
9 months later, and I feel you're
Intruding on my sanctuary
The only place I had left
To find peace for my jaded mind.
The water still emits lapping waves, white noise
Flowing freely over worn ceramic tiles
And the marble ledge still hugs my shape
But you've somehow managed to ruin
A moment of clarity while you stand there
With a look of satisfaction.. disguised as
Shock written in large print on your face.
I wish I had a choice other than to
Hear your voice and feel the uneasy
Warmth of your body seated directly
Next to mine.. but this place belongs to me
And I'm not giving it up without a fight.
Your battle is fought with cold hands
Slowly moving across my neck and
Wind burnt, yet still soft lips
Trying desperately to reach mine.
You fail to understand that your battle
Serves no purpose, as our war ended
A long time ago, and it's tales are
Locked away in what you called a relationship
But what I still refer to as an uneasy alliance.
I don't care what secret you have to tell me
And I don't wish to stay here with you anymore.
Congratulations, you've stolen the two most
Important things I had.. my heart.. and this place.
I stand up and give you once final glance
That should tell you everything you'll ever
Need to know about you and I, yet you still
Have the nerve to vomit five strained words out of your mouth..
"What are you doing here?"
What am I doing here? What are you doing here?
Better yet..
What are we doing here?
I'm going to turn around this last time
And walk away, you don't want me to leave?
Then give a reason why I should stay.
