I was the one that invited pain in
My friend that’s come to visit me again.
How long will he stay?
He undressed me and caressed me and he earned my trust.
But when he left I saw my body was battered up.
How did it feel so good?
Giving into him
I left myself
For a moment of release
Left in weakness and defeat
Was it his fault when I allowed him to cut into me?
We do it every time
I knew what I would get
But it’s only cause I see him as my only friend.
He never told me this is what I needed to make the pain go away.
I abused him and I asked him time and time again to stay.
Let’s go on an escape.
Will today be the day I tell him to stay away?
And find a path of rays of sunshine to clear my mind.
I daydream of happy days when love sat with me by the water
Peace was there too
Take me there tomorrow

The push and pull of relationships that are either too close and threaten to engulf us or too distant and we are fearful will escape us forever. There is no middle ground. Nicely written in most poetic form
The contrasts of relationships, do we want to be with them or without them, nicely expressed and written
