Stay gone forever -
Your words are beginning to hurt me
Sometimes more than the pain felt when abandoned
And you told me tonight that you weren't suprised
Those things they did to me, I don't believe I deserved a single one
Nor do you have the right to tell me differently
But you insist
That I'm still just a lost soul, groping through the darkness of this world
And I admit
No, I don't have it all figured out
But I'm not afraid to confess that I probably never will

Still, all I ever ask for, all I really need

Is what seems to want to stay gone forever

This is beautiful and painful at the same time.

I think I can safely sayt that no one has it all figured out.  And if they act like they do - don't believe it.

If I don't say it...who will?

I am old enough to have 3 kids, 4 grandkids and two great grandkids and find that the farther I go the less I have figured out.
And that's okay because it creates mystery. Oh, but for the mystery, we would dry up like old prunes.
great poem!
