You always leave When you're winning The argument You always leave When I'm too shy To think of anything to say You always leave When you get bored Of talking to me You always leave When I get nervous And feel like I want to leave You always leave When I'm scared And I'm only safe Wrapped in your arms You always leave When you realize I might be right for you You always leave When I need you To tell me things are alright You always leave When you're upset And I'm alone again You always leave When I need someone You think it'll be someone else You always leave When I work up the courage To tell you I Love You

luv2write, please check out codependents anonymous. 12 steps never worked for me, but, what the hell, most people seem to get off on being addicted to something. and 'those rooms' are full of people who will listen with open ears as you spilll this sort of thing. honestly, where is your sense of self? do you really think like this?

oh, wait, i get it, it's a satire, and you're making fun of 12 steppers!!! in that case, schwing!!!!

Wow, who turned out the punctuation?

One thing comes to mind: Wrg. It's what you say when your brain goes numb from either confusion or repetition. This one's not confusing at all, so you can finish the math from there.

Again a nice twist...though it does get a little repetitive before you get there...
