Everything that you once told me
suddenly feels as false as the feelings
that you once held for me in your heart.
And I don’t know what to do anymore,
but to sit here and think about
the way that you once promised me
of a life of understanding
and a mind that is clear of previous mistakes.

So when you call my name
don’t be surprised when my mouth
doesn’t open, and my arms
do not greet you with the touch
of longing for your skin against mine.
You’ve been gone for too long,
and you can’t be bitter
over my heart not giving in again.
