pass this way again

please let me know

long in advance

so i can surely

get myself together

put together a plan

order my thinking

marshal my feelings

decide if i need

to run away once more

i’m sure you understand

this isn’t about you

(if definitely it is)

i can live i think

with the cowardice

the evasion thereof

what i can’t do is the thought of

needing you over again

feeling desire

& the hate you create

both at the same time

should you ever

pass this way again
