My sadness can be kind. 

My heart can be opened. 

My clock can rewind. 

My scars can be softened. 

Her love was divine. 

Her words softly spoken. 

Her pain is not mine.

Her trust was quickly broken.

This was not the design.

This didn’t have to happen.

This ache lives near my spine.

This healing required fast action 

If I wasn’t all so inclined 

If I behaved in such fashions

If it was gold it never did shine.

If it was love it came with a caption. 

Did you look up see them align?

Did I have to support you in small fractions?

Did you recover just fine?

Did you actually believe I gained traction?

I still wish you were mine.

I lie with misguided passion.

I will continue to decline.

I appreciate your reaction.

You needed more than the wine.

You never received any compassion .

You paid for my crime.

You deserve your satisfaction.
