December Ninth
December 9th

I try to get away--
You get stupid over her
and I watch your smile wilt.
I saw your tears yesterday--
They didn't fall, but I knew you had them,
and for once they were near me.
Why did you show up when you knew all I wanted was
to escape far from here>
Everything was so much better when you hated me--
I could hold your lies in my head
with all those broken promises,
and never want your hands touching anything of mine again.
You let the past be what it is--
But maybe I still feel her near you,
and I just want to know what makes you so special
that I can't speak out against your life...
Maybe you do still run away from me though--
even from those problems that will always follow you around.
I'll never leave I'm sorry to say--
I'm lost without your anger.
