Once Again Poem by Nathan Barkley

Once again i sink into what i hate
Into the thing i kiss every night
I keep holding on this love even though i know its fake
I talk, i beg, i plead, i bleed
Just to see if your giving me a reason to stay at your side
I scream, I listen, I look into you to see whats really inside
I'm trying to keep us alive
Do you listen when i cry?
Do you see the tears drop?
I convince myself again tonight
That your right and i'm wrong
That i should stop speaking my mind
With you
I feel protected, yet scared
I feel safe, yet danger keeps holding me
I feel Loved, yet alone at times
Did you ever take the time to really know me?
Do you know what i'm going through?
I know i should leave but i will stay
I know its clear as day
That you hate me everyday
Nevermore returning to those days
Where we were one
