Wasted Time

You are standing at my front door,
Finally giving me what I have always
Wanted from you, which is more  
Of you, but the strong blaze
Has already died. You may call it
A second chance, but to me
It is wasted time. You lost every bit
Of the girl who was waiting. I see
All of it as too little too late.
You already had your choice.
I will never cave or give in to the bait.
It is my time, effort and voice
That is too precious for you to take
Care of. Things are already unsteady.
Darling, you need to let me make
My own decision as you already  
Made yours a long time ago.
Clearly I did not mean as much
To you as you did to me. You show
Me what I no longer want to touch
Anymore because your love is jaded.
Darling, you have undermined,
Undervalued and downgraded
My worth. I am no longer blind.
