A long time coming
Summer rain
Torridly rapping on my hidden pain
Soaked frame
Vividly recalling the day
When I first began to noticed your disdain
Undeserved for me alone to claim
Walking vs. running away
My blurred heart now just a figure of clay
Molded for you to prey
In the place where I found comfort to lay
Pores of love frayed
The sweetness where I fell strayed
My eternity without you not the same
Been almost two decades in this chase
Our Codependent game
Now I am too damn afraid
To stay
To go the other way
My departure made plain
You would even call my name
Now betrayed
By your intentional non attachment to me displayed
For the world and my denial to see
How you instinctively used my emotions to play
And I in need of validation continually gave
Took a back seat, ignored even when love felt like hate
You talked to me in such a damning way
Caused internal bleeding and much dismay
Finally prolonged goodbye is here where I stand
Walking away
Whole in the pouring rain
