This man I have adored,
Whose poor broken heart
I have ignored
Has now broken mine,
and created more scars
Words were thrown at me,
slicing like Chinese stars
Things were said cold
Things that will never leave
the depths of my soul
For cut they did do,
Which is exactly
what he intended them to
My tears come unabated
Unwanted!
Uninvited!
The hurt and anger
Sting like a bee
Not just for him
But even for me
For my hurtful actions
Were not meant to be
as callous and mean as
they seemed to be
Where as his cutting words
were meant to hurt
almost as if my pain he savored
I can understand though
He wants me to hurt
as much as he does
So let him be curt
and throw my way all of his hurt
I am strong enough
To take whatever he has to give
For I know it is not much longer
that I have to live
what has now become
this life of lies
December 14 will always be revered
as the day my old life ties
were completely severed
We can now go about living
free from all our former cries
because in this house
there will be no more lies

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"
