I didn’t want to look into my eyes
And see my own fear
Of rejection
I didn’t want to feel
Sometimes I am afraid of the way that I feel
The pain of looking into my own eyes
And seeing something that I would have to give a voice to
When it is not my voice that created the pain but
I allowed someone to make me feel a deep sadness
By taking from me what should have been left
They had the choice to ensure that I was feeling better than when they came
And they chose to take the joy I had shared with them all for themselves
And leave me with nothing
No explanation, no justification
Just took what I had and walked away and gave what they took from me to someone
Who didn’t want them either
