In love with every inability
Heartbreak is inevitability

Muscles clenched
Tears burn
Stomach churn
Jaw firm

Stubborn abusive profanities
Heartless and hard
Trying to get the last word
Innocence charred
These gashes are not physical
But inner scars

Feigned insincerity
So rude, brief and curt
Turning the shoulder I used to lean on
Can't tell you how much this hurts

Don't run away
not again
Don't turn your back
And let it end.

It's one or the other
In this game of blame
Will you play heard to get
Or will we forgive and forget?

Or this time will it be me
To turn from your incessant pleading
Begging and beseeching
Heart sore and bleeding
Ignoring a hand reaching

One of us is tenacious and persevering
Other leaves them vulnerable, unhearing

And so it happens
Again and again
Petty virtual arguments on MSN
Only because we know this is too real to end

You sign off
But you'll return
Pretty predictable
When will we learn?

Are these fights a result of boredom
Of pent up frustration
Irritation
Exasperation?!

So I'll sit here
Unfortunately it will have to do
And through it all
I still love you.
