A Confrontation

Tensions running high I never learned to stop bottling it up inside Threading the needle, clipping the wires On a bomb that just keeps ticking down time Then you erupt without warning Your unchecked anger on full display Say you’re moving out Already packed your things Except the blame, you left that all for me And I still remember the look on your face that day I tried my hardest to save our garden Steady hands sifting through the weeds But you didn’t care enough to stay Carry on with or without you With or without you Why don’t we talk this out I’ve got pages and pages of thoughts to lay out and I’m Working up the confidence with Clammy hands and a drying mouth Pulse racing, mind is pacing I’m still left wondering how This is where we’ve ended up now Storm in the room Full head of steam You’re firing off I’m unraveling They say that time flies when you’re having fun But does it slow down in situations When your heart is numb All I see is your empty bedroom now All I see is your empty bedroom now
