NO BETTER WAY

 

In my desire

for having something beautiful

and wanting it to stay

to not let you get away

i do things

out of frustration

 

say words

that cut

that expose your weaknesses

so my hurt

with anger is replaced

to insure

you're going

to push you farther away

 

perhaps because

i love you

and I need to justify

 you leaving

and i know

no better way
