Sometimes I turn my head
showing my pain by averting my eyes. Nothing I've
done to deserve this, by how you treat
my old words becoming something static.
Many mistakes made cannot be
mended though I owe myself a smidgen
of humanity. So when these eyes crave a
golden horse for lost carriages and
then lash from dissatisfaction you can soothe
in my silence and disbelief for hole heartedness.

Sometimes something you did or said will be held against you for quite a long time. Like a proverbial slap in the face.
