the fight

i won't let you go without a fight,
but if i fight you're sure to go.

you have to work today,
again, i won't get in your way.
i won't crave your attention,
i won't crave you.

i can love you,
but i can no longer hunger for you.

broken fragments clutter my mind,
my gut screams 'i told ya so',
my mind screams 'but how can you ever really know',
my heart is quietly healing its deepening wound.

snagged in this trap,
what is it gonna take to be free?
