Damaged
is my heart breaking?
i can't tell
in my silence
i can't hear my heart yell
shouldn't this loss sorrow me?
can't i feel sadness to some degree
maybe it was the way you treated me
or the way you didn't treat me
could it have been something you said
or that something in your face i read
there was no absence of malice
in some of the things you did
even then i never wished you dead
but wish you away
my heart i trust
into banishment
into a box where
old forgotten things belong
perhaps this is the best way
just leave me alone
let me fade away
i in my bitterness and lack of zeal
that thing you did
damaged the way i feel
(To Sharon)
