Boomerang

You paint a target so perfectly

You make your points so poignantly

Without a finger pointed or batted eye

Or, hint that it could be you



You’re silent when you should let loose

You tell me to speak when spoken to

And, listen when it’s your turn

But, hush my words when I think out loud



You throw around like a hurricane

Swelling wide when your ego’s blamed

But, don’t you know Honey

That kind of ammunition aims right on back

Just like a boomerang



I ran in circles inside the cage

I painted targets for you to aim

The shrapnel of your gun at me

Hoping only to catch love



I played that cat and mouse game

I hid in walls just to stay safe

Until you found something to fill your belly

But, now I’m finally chewing out



Cause, Honey…



You throw around like a hurricane

Swelling wide when your ego’s blamed

But, don’t you know Honey

That kind of ammunition aims right on back

Just like a boomerang

Just like a boomerang
