Stalemate

8 1 0
                                    

I don't want you to think I'm falling back on my promise

I don't want you to think I'm desperate for someone

In looking back at all we've been through

I guess I'm realizing it's hard to love


It's not that now I magically trust you

It's not that now I feel like I can move on

It's not that I've forgiven you for what happened

But I think now I'm ready to talk


I have lots of gripes I haven't been able to discuss

Little annoyances and bursts of anger I must attend to

You may know I have a tendency to exaggerate things

Sometimes I write words that carry sharp stings


But in moments of clarity, I tend to back down

Remind myself how little I've missed

But then I start to wonder how truthful I am with myself

At end of the day, I know I have to be the bigger man and end this stalemate
