Back Again

Love lost and an unwilling return

Ah, I see you’re back for round two

Here I’m the fool, I thought we were through

I thought you’d given me all I could take

Tell me is there anything left for you to break

I guess this is my fate’s seal

Never the comfort of a partial heal

Supposedly joyous gift bearing endless distress

Tell me where is my heart’s rest

I thought I was safe with my heart of stone

But apparently a living seed may there too be sewn

Why must you tear me down

Why is your comfort in my frown

I bend on unsteady knee

Trying to hold myself together in agony

What part of my heart is there left to lose

Please tell me what part of my body left to abuse

Ah, what humor you do gain

Inflicting in me such immortal pain

So helpless am I, tossing, flailing in the dark

Yes, you my friend infliction every mark

Tell me what is left of me to be torn

My whole existence being worn

Tell me! I shout aloud

Show me the truth to the actions which you’re so proud

You’ve beaten me, knocked me out

Made me unrecognizable no doubt

But here you are! Back again

Foolish me! How could there be an end

For this torture knows no end for me

For I shall be shredded eternally

What such a great gift I do receive

And how lucky I am, the eternal pain never to leave
