This silence is pierced with ignorance- <br />Looking only at the circumstance. <br />Then realizing it's just that that took you away <br />And you try to make it seem okay. <br />First class ticket to your guilt trip- <br />Thinking somehow it'll make me forget. <br />But damn you for leaving me here on my own <br />To be reborn with a heart made of stone. <br />And damn you for not ever coming back <br />All the while, promising that.. <br />One day it'd be perfect and we'd never need <br />Oh and at last- that day's come, indeed. <br />Because now I'm taking care of myself <br />And your picture's been taken down from my shelf. <br />I don't need you any more than you need me; <br />And that's just the way it's got to be. <br />And while you're away and I'm left here bleeding, <br />I'm not needing, but healing- and always concealing.<br /><br />Jessy Liz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/needing-and-healing-and-always-concealing/
