When You Stopped Caring

You did not care until the moment when I walked away
And stopped talking to you. You could have found a way
To convince me to never leave, but did not sense anything
Was wrong or adrift. You did not realize that would sting
Me or set off my anger and frustration. The only fault
Is that I gave you every chance. I am not going to halt
My life to lick your wounds and heal your scars because
That is not how all of this works. Life does not get a pause
Or a re do button when there are the same mistakes that
Get repeated over and over again. You always get a flat
Line because you need me to revive it yet again. With
Every reason to be sorry, grace and forgiveness is a myth
From long ago. I cannot let you keep walking all over me.
You told me long ago that you keep wanting to see
Where life was going, but I was not a part of those
Plans and I was not the person to get lost in throes
Of something like lust. What you had was not love
Or even mutual respect, but destruction and of
Complete chaos. I always told myself to stop being
People who does not deserve it. I stopped agreeing
To getting myself hurt and to prevent my heart from
Dangerous situations. I have to walk away from some
Of the pain in order to let go although it takes so much
In me to not go back to you. I know I would be such
A hypocrite and liar if I ever did that. You do not
Deserve an explanation anymore. It is you I forgot.
