This Road
05.23.2022
Let's not go down this road
It's time to say goodbye
No explanation is owed
I gave up asking why
When you left with barely a word
When you left me out of your life
When the lines became blurred
By your own design
It was decades of trying my best
Years of letting it go
Keeping my pain suppressed
Because I couldn't let you know
When I'd say you left a wound
And tried to understand
My feelings were consumed
And you'd misunderstand
I'm too sensitive, you'd say
I just can't take a joke
Then you'd wave me away
As if I never spoke
Let's not go down this road again
It's time we left us behind
You said no to being my friend
When you said yes to being unkind...
