My blood it boils, pulsing fast

I don't know how long this will last

The hate I feel can't be described

My anger cannot be denied.

My temperature begins to rise

And malice fills my glaring eyes

I clench my fists down by my hips

My back is ramrod straight and stiff.

I'm fighting just to hold it in

Forcing my thoughts to stay within

I will not be the first to crack

Although restraint I've always lacked.

I hold your glare, I face your gaze

I'm sick of all your wily ways

I've had enough, not backing down

I'll root my legs into the ground.

I scream at you with all my might

My words are thrown like sharpened knives

Release of all the pain you've caused

Attacking me with verbal claws.

Then tears they flow like streams of hurt

My heart it gives a painful lurch

I'm striking back with all my might

And yet it seems I've lost this fight.

You've yet to flinch while I broke down

My words just echo all around

And then one tear rolls down your face

That's wiped away in hurried haste.

I finally lock my gaze on yours

Searching within for something more

There is no life I can detect

Your eyes seem cold, your hope has left.

You stare at me, I stare at you

I know this time that we are through

This time I won't give in and stay

I turn my back and walk away.
