29 times in 29 ways
I have tried to reach you
29 times in 29 ways
I tried to break
through the walls that separate us

Was it 4 too few?
Was it 5 too many?

Do I continue to stand outside
pounding my fists till they are bloody?

Do I turn and walk away and
prove that you were right all along
that I would leave you eventually?

Do I wait patiently
Make no move towards you
Make no move away
In hopes that some day
some year
Some how
Some way
you will open your eyes
as well as your heart
and really see me
See that I am still here.

How many times must we play this game
How many times must we run from each other
From ourselves
From the truths that we do not wish to face

29 times in 29 ways
We failed ourselves
We failed each other
You for not giving in
Me for not letting go.

Please stop the pain, and reframe.
There is no good end, to this game.
