Why Now?

They break you, unknowingly,
And tie into a hundred knots,
The more you try to ease out,
The grip tightens to hold you still,
Cutting deep into old scars,
That never truly healed.
Now, you and I are in name alone,
You lost me somewhere down that road,
Why come looking now,
When the dust has settled,
When the white tears have dried,
And peace has been traded,
Why am I a misfit now?
Why must my intentions be questioned,
Before being spit out,
Empty is all I have,
There’s no further I can go,
Turn and leave,
I won’t be walking anymore.
