I waited
   hoping
for what most girls would expect
      I wanted
your hand extended
or maybe the smile I love so much
   But you kept up the faΓ§ade
        I've been trying to tear down
   you kept your head
                   in your little game
          you strode past
                     eyes never touching me
                you shrunk me
                      making me
                            a part of your wall
I don't know why you belittle me
with absence of words or gestures
       But I'm
just about done taking it
    because I've started to feel like I deserve this
And I don't need guilt
       added to the pile

It will hurt to let you go
          as my hands have grown around you
  but like a doorknob that's heating up
        it will hurt more if I hold on
            and since you'll never open up
and let me in
soon-  I'm going to walk away
         and leave you on the other side
     with no one to torment
      I'll be gone
            and when another innocent girl
   starts walking towards your door
            I'll be there
                   to warn her
       of the dangers you pose
            and the tools you posses
     to hurt her
criticism needed
