I cried for you today
I cried for you today.
For the person you use to be
And the person you have become.
The first time since that day.
I cried.
The person I grew to know, and love,
Now gone. Lost in a sea of confusion,
And hurt.
The person I once looked at with want
And passion,
Now lost, in the frustrating words,
That make no sense.
I cried for you today,
The tears burnt my cheeks.
The heat of my passion escaping me,
Through the tears that were falling.
I cried for you today…
Never again.
I cried for me today.
The person I use to be
And the person ive become.
The pain settles cold in my core.
Holding dear to the words that
Once were shared.
Now grow old.
The person I once was,
Growing old and forgotten,
Lost in the shadows, and the dark.
The person who opened up to you,
And longed for your acceptance.
Now, grows cold, and rejected.
Hateful words play in my mind.
I cried for me today.
The tears tore through my heart.
The respect I held for myself now,
Shattered and bruised, beyond repair.
You said you would take it away…the pain,
But in the end, you gave me the greatest blow.
To be rejected before even knowing.
I cried today…Never again.
