third time's the charm, they said
the happy ever after
the one that I can't give to you
because hurting me once was destines choice
but hurting me twice was of my own making.
what can I do to put you away
when I can't see clearly when you are concerned
when I couldn't think clearly when I had your arms around me.
and for that I am afraid
to give myself fully to you for the third time around
and have you walk away and leave me behind
like you did twice before
forget him
leave him
that's all I ever hear
he doesn't want you
he doesn't need you
it's not something I want to hear
I want you and all your imperfections
I want your arms around me holding me tightly
even though you've hurt me before
even though I've been thrown aside when something best came around
why do we do this?
why do we love what shouldn't be loved
and cling to every word, giving it another meaning
and cling to every kiss
that was meant for just you
and every touch
every touch that made you skip a beat
and why do I still think of a third chance
when you haven't even asked for it
why do I still wait
and inflict myself pain
