Lacerated
by
Sara Rarick

You didn't say goodbye,
all I did was cry.
And if tonight I do not die on my own,
by tomorrow your words will have killed me,
at least a thousand times over.
You never told me how you felt,
and now I know it didn't match the way I felt for you.
You used me again and again,
said that you cared about me,
then threw me out like a bag of trash.
Horrible as it sounds,
I'd still give the whole world for you to have me again.
I'm drawn so close to you,
I don't even care how much you hurt me, as long as you are happy.
I can't end this until you are smiling again...
And with complete disbelief,
I died for you when you were losing faith,
even after all the lies,
and all the pretending,
and hurt that is never ending.
And I'd do it all over again,
for one last kiss.
