Poems
Jun 2018

I think the saddest part is that a part of me still wants to forgive you
A part of me is still carrying a torch for the man you once were
The man you could be again
But you and I both know how you feel about change
You and I both know how you feel about me
You say that you love me
The words drip from your mouth like honey
Sticky sweet and sickening
This is not love
And it hasn't been for quite some time
This is obsession, this is infatuation, this is lust
You don't miss me, you miss how willing I was to take off my clothes
To open myself up to you, bare my body and soul to you
Primal and disgusting and everything you wanted
You miss my passivity
My fear of the word "no"
My fear of disappointing you
You tell me I've changed
You don't recognize that you are the one who changed me
You set this house of my heart ablaze and I have risen from the ashes
I am no longer what I once was, not anymore
