Afternoon Thoughts On December 22nd
You see
I'm unable to fathom what you did and you said
I saw love but I felt pain
And for years on the presence of others
It's all the same
Confidently you uttered the words of assurance
"I'm different from them. I am not like them."
And of course my heart danced
As I remember those moments
I listened to the pounding inside our chests
Echoed in the air of silence
I resent the lost chances
I should've shouted
Loud and clear what I really felt
It could've gone off easily if I did, maybe
If you heard my cries
You could've apologised
Or will you apologise?
For you to ask forgiveness
Is my hope for vengeance
