Deja Vu

Staunch in my silence
i refused to impose on you
the truth of my realization
for fear it would hurt you
words that i cannot say
scream on the inside
shatters the hourglass
dismantling with time
history has since reminded me
that repetition despises pain
and the only way to relent
is letting it go
spare me from another ride
'cause even fighters need a break
if there is too much at stake
i'd rather give it up and walk away
as for all these strenous moments of deja vu
i'm gladly giving them back to you.....
