Finally I See

February 17, 2012

You say I am hurt too easily.

Lies though, they do cause pain.

Why do I again return?

Am I asking for more, more of the same?

I fell for you as a woman-child and you know me well.

We live a crazy, vicious cycle of apologies and blame.

I need to leave for more than just a spell.

~

Your love it brings pain.

Mine does the same to you.

We are late in making this change.

Could I be wrong?

~

I used to bleed for you to see.

I exposed every tear in my heart.

Perhaps I allowed you too much access

to my many faults.

Now the wounds have healed, have hardened much of me.

I wanted to let you touch my skin, to feel your honesty.

Honesty exists no longer, my blind heart finally sees.
