I waited

by GypsyAshlyn

I waited Dazzled by the idea Of your planet in my driveway Your orbit around my house Your stars in my gaze I thought you just needed space Sadly was I mistaken See, instead I just waited. No cold bite could keep me inside And no sad thoughts made my cry I just waited I had this dizzy thought That you had finally seen the truth That I was there for you That she was just a thing And you realized you could use my weakness To have what ever you pleased You could have had me When that was still me You have arrived two years too late You seemed to have missed my submissive stage I said I'd take you back Yes, I remember that But that was back when I sat and claimed post-trauma to you I have become cold and empty And I know no empathy I know no forgiveness But I sure as hell know bitterness Yes, I am bitter But not because I am still "hung up" But, because I gave up On myself When I gave myself up on to you I have no regrets I'm glad I experienced this side of pain I'm glad I know I can be born again I am bitter, yes But, sweet mistake, I am so happy these days
