I heard a sorry escape your lips today.
Your eyes looked painfully away
I had still had nothing to say
Yet I stayed to listen.
Around your fingers, you twirled your pen
As you spoke about how it should have been.
You read my letter
And took some time to ponder,
You finally stopped hoping I would push away
Leave the conclusion behind us.
You accepted finally that deep down,
What you did brought me pain.
You said you could do whatever I wanted.
Leaving much from my lips unsaid.
You said you know you left me red.
You know it hurts when we talk,
When we walk
When we are near
Your skin feels like it is going to sear through
Like I single touch could re-begin the process.
