it still stings a bit 

at the oddest of times 
going through life 
then it itches and i scratch 
and it itches more until all is 
exposed again. and i wonder 
how can i stay, how can i trust 
how can i once again give me 
and i rerun your words those 
past and those present 
how each phrase
stings a bit 

why now 
why not then
what is different about me 
what is different about you 
how do i believe 
how do i let go  
how do we 
become 
a bit
