i hear your words
and i flinch from the pain
i stand here watching
impotent no words can i say
so many times ive reached out
only to be rebuffed
by resignation, cowardice
by someone so unsure of himself
i breathe the poison you exhale
and die a little by your side
you know of my strength
and i wish you to use it
i wait for another to turn my head

i stand here alone and still
i remember all of your words
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
