    Default "The Last Time... Again"

    She steps outside in the pouring rain
    Swears she isn't ever coming back again
    She sets her face straight against the pain
    Promises herself that she'll forget about him

    She's getting away all over again
    He hurt for the last time, yes, it's for the last time
    She's getting herself away from him
    Once again she's leaving it all behind, for the last time

    She takes the cab to the train station
    Sets down on the bench with her bags
    She hasn't thought about her destination
    But any place is better than the one she had

    She's getting away all over again
    He hurt for the last time, yes, it's for the last time
    She's getting herself away from him
    Once again she's leaving it all behind, for the last time

    She takes the cab back to their home
    Where he's waiting for her to come back
    He swears he's changed while she was gone
    But we all know the truth about that

    She's back with him all over again
    He feeds her that line, yes, it's the hundredth time
    She's letting herself go back to him
    Once again everything is fine, there wasn't any crime

    For the thousandth time
    For God knows how many times
    Only God knows how many times
    Until she escapes when she dies

    This is brilliant!
    The only thing I can really think of as far as improvements is the last stanza. I feel like the last 2 lines don't really fit together. I mean, I get that it's part of the story, but combining them just feels like awkward. Perhaps it's the way the last sentence is worded maybe? I'm not sure. Anyway, that's my comment
    Great job altogether!

    Thanks. I felt there was something out of wack but I couldn't figure it out. The last 2 stanzas on which verse? The one that you quote above or a different one?

    Oh yeah, that needs some work most definitely. I will eventually fix it.
