life's lemons

The last I checked...

I wasn't the one who turned away and stopped smiling.
I wasn't the one who took everything and then gave up.
I wasn't the one who stopped trying.
I wasn't the one who spouted all kinds of unkind words.
I wasn't the one who never bothered to utter the words "I'm sorry".


The last I checked...

I had still faithfully continued to offer a ride back each time.
I gave and I gave, maybe more than I should have.
I tried my hardest but was met with a stone cold wall.
I had only your best interests in mind.
I have lost count of the number of times I have apologised.


I have always mentioned that I hate jumping on the defence, but you're pushing me into a corner. This is not a game. This is not war. And I don't want to battle. Definitely not with you.

I will walk, but only this far. I will stand here a little while. And then one day, with a heavy heart, I will turn around and walk away.
