I Want to Hurt You

Sitting alone,
On the steps to your house,
I can’t come in,
And you won’t come out…

The tears are streaming,
Down my face,
Nothing to do,
Alone in this place…

You pretend you’re not in,
But I know the truth,
I know she’s in there,
Stealing away you…

This isn’t the first time,
This isn’t the last,
But I thought the cheating,
Was a thing of the past…

I should get up,
Stop knocking your door,
You’ll only do it again,
You’ve done it before…

She looks out the window,
And jumps with surprise,
She sees a girl, sitting there,
Wiping her eyes…

I hear shouting,
Screaming from inside,
She’s discovered your secret,
She knows that you’ve lied…

She storms out of the house,
Stops, and gives me a hug,
You trip over me,
And land with a thud…

You stand up,
You hold my hand,
And pull me up,
In position to stand…

You tell me you love me,
I start to leave,
You grasp my wrist,
And beg and plead…

I smile to see,
You in such pain,
I think I’ll stay,
So I can hurt you again!

The magic of making up
