In Absence
"I'm probably not the best person for you to be speaking with, I failed you in your absence thought I promised that I'd wait."
"I don't care what you did... I don't need to know... I do need to hold you, can I see you tomorrow?"
He breaks my heart with every forgiving word...
"There were others....while you were bettering yourself for a life with me.."
Tears clench the corners of my eyes...
"There was him....a monster that tarnished the woman you used to know.."
Stammering to get the nightmare out...
"It was lonely while I was in here, letters can only say barely enough... babe its okay."
The rain falls down my cheeks..how too tell him I am a reopened wound infected by my own decision?
"Its something else... remember before when I was faded, when you found your way beneath the blankets I wrapped my bleeding in?"
I'm holding my breath waiting for the click and dial tone of losing part of myself...
There's a knock at the door.... that old familiar face...
"Did you really think I wouldn't want you any way?"
"I don't care what you did... I don't need to know... I do need to hold you, can I see you tomorrow?"
He breaks my heart with every forgiving word...
"There were others....while you were bettering yourself for a life with me.."
Tears clench the corners of my eyes...
"There was him....a monster that tarnished the woman you used to know.."
Stammering to get the nightmare out...
"It was lonely while I was in here, letters can only say barely enough... babe its okay."
The rain falls down my cheeks..how too tell him I am a reopened wound infected by my own decision?
"Its something else... remember before when I was faded, when you found your way beneath the blankets I wrapped my bleeding in?"
I'm holding my breath waiting for the click and dial tone of losing part of myself...
There's a knock at the door.... that old familiar face...
"Did you really think I wouldn't want you any way?"

I've learned over the years to forgive what has wronged me and most of all to forgive myself for wrongs I've done. It's definently an appropriate subject matter. Thank you!
