Ashamed

I have been alone to long, even in the end I was a haze in the distance.

I hate that I stayed.

Even that is over now,

I don’t need him.

I don’t know how I let this happen.

My thoughts scream,

But I’ll forgive myself I know,

I poured myself out into that soft reflection

And humming conviction and

I didn't really know you did I.

No, I didn't .

We had been parting ways for a long time,

Probably why I hardly cried,

But when you walked it stung the same.

Mostly for the things you say.

I hate you for your forced ignorance.

The way you blame everything,

I hate you for refusing to look at me,

Standing unclothed before you,

Wearing nothing but old scars

And my broken heart tied to my wrist.

I hate how you turned from my kiss,

I just wanted you to love me.

I’m so sick of feeling like this,

Like no one could ever touch me.
