Turned Around

I did not give myself the time

I only allow my thoughts to reach to the end of each line

Is this the way things are done

Doubt me all you want but someone hears me

I did not ask you to look at me

I did not force your hand

Turn away now but the deed is done

You will never be free

Apart of me will always be

I do not cause you to suffer

Your tears are your own undoing

I have nothing left for you but words

Angry words I do not give myself the time to think

The future holds no appeal to me

Does it call for you

I walk with my head high only when I know you are behind

You are stealth and saw my smile

Before I knew

You knocked me down

Tell me why you force the blame

Your words took me in

But I loved the rain

I try and break free

Paths only lead me back

I stand outside the door to you

I did not give myself the time

Before I walked back across the line
