In an upside-down garden

You called me at midnight
on New Years Eve.
The new year come in
and you want everything
to be okay.
No guilt on your chest,
no little voice in you head.
You wanted to clear it up,
make me the bad guy.
You said to page you
whenever I needed you.
and I sit by the phone,
with the number in my hand.
Whenever I needed you.
Whenever I needed you.
Whenever I needed you
you were never there.

Rant.

Don't let your mind wander, it's much to small to be out by itself.

Wow.. this is powerful!  I loved the repition of the "Whenever I needed you".  Each time it's read is more powerful than the time before, and the ending drops to almost a whisper to me... I'm sorry you were hurt.  No one deserves to be betrayed like that.  *hugs*
I enjoyed this, Allysa.

Wow, it's like all the pent-up frustrations!! Especially near the end "Whenever I needed you You were never there" It is so sad when that is the truth, but better be let down by the truth than be deceived by illusions

Thanks everyone.
It's true, whenever I needed him, he wasn't there.
And it hasn't become a problem of my needing him now,
it seems that he needs me.  He needs things w/ me to stay the way they've been so that if his life doesn't work out he can fit like a puzzle piece back into my life.
Well, tough for him, because I'm changing things now.
