the things you accuse others of doing
are things you yourself have taught
though you couldn’t feel the trouble brewing
you finally got what you have sought
despite your resistance to the fact
the truth pushes harder so
forget leaving the past intact
instead making nothing to outgrow
remember when you were so kind?
to me you had it all
the things we shared – heart and mind
began to crumble and fall
regardless, now you feel
the things you tried to ignore
i knew
it was for real
now your heart is on the floor
and you’re looking pretty
…pretty sore
