Reciprocity

My disbelief
My shock
My grief
When you cast my love away

I gave
I begged
But you instead
Chose to break my heart this day

But why
I cry
As I slowly die
Did you run away from me

Was it something I said?
Or the tears that I shed?
That made you want to go...
Did I ask for too much?
Yearn too hard for your touch?
Or was it that I missed you so?

My hurt
So deep
Beyond belief
The emptiness inside

My pretty face
A sad disgrace
As you left me there to hide

I turn to go
But I still know
That someday soon
you’ll see...
That love so true
Is a part of you
Even when you’re away from me

You’ll remember,
I’ll never forget.

ouch

reminds me of a line I wrote about denial:

"trying not to remember
the love you forgot"
