After all that we’ve been through,
I thought we were okay again.
I thought that it was a change
for the better.
Night
after
Night
had come
and
I missed you
less
and
less.
Suspicions haunted me
dauntingly,
day
after
day.
and each time
I blocked them
they didn’t matter;
you didn’t matter.
I no longer craved
your embrace,
but you gave it
anyway.
I no longer needed you,
but you gave yourself
anyway.
Sunlight came,
and morning broke,
and you took it away.
You pretend
under false pretense,
and lie through
your teeth.
You clench them
and demand it’s me,
not you.
The truth is,
it’s always been
you.
