When?*

When have you've gone to far
When do they stop
Coming back
When do they realize you were never worth their time?
Why wait?
Why wait for you to choose to cut me loose?

Finally decide my voice is to high
My questions to often
My everything
Is something you never wanted

You say all these things
Promises hanging like tiny snowflakes
Only to melt when they land on your tongue

Just like they did with everyone else
Just perfect to when I turn into them

I tried to believe the beauty in your words
Tired to believe you'd stay just like you say

Even though I see your eyes they way
They glance at the door
Or roll at my words
Pushing them on as tiny letters leave me
Trying to keep you here

Each one feeling like a drop of boiling acid
Landing oh so carefully
Burning on oh so carefully

Though I tell myself it is just rain
a little water hurt anyone
Till I forget I was drowning

My choices broke us
You say that you love me anyway
But I know I didn't land easily
I know you rather
Have it any other way

You'd rather speak in sunshine
Instead of snow
Or drop water
Instead of acid

I see you try on those words in different sizes
But your actions are the only ones that fit

I've gone too far
I think
I think you
know you
You went
Too far to

I think we all knew
Tiny drops
Were always the beginning of this storm
The beginning
Of realizing you want to stop
That I was never worth your time
Even in when winter came.
