i will not explain myself to you
i will not talk endlessly about the truths
i will not fix us with thinking through things
words never make a path, they only sting
and when there has been unkindness spoken
no matter how deserving
there is only a quiet sense within me
that there will be a leaving
if we cannot find a way to healing from playing
and being together, side by side
in sunlight snow
and under covers legs intwined
near a candles glow
then it is too much to ask of me
i have been explaining myself the whole of my life
if who i am is not okay
then know i have no more fight
i will choose peace over love this time
