You think that you offend me
You think you push away
But I know that your posturing
Just keeps the pain at bay
You don't want more rejection
You don't want broken trust
But my extended fingers stay
Outstretched despite your thrust
I won't be like the others
Who always let you down
So let's replace that sullen face
A smile for a frown.
