Like A Baby
touching you today with gentle hands
I wanted to hurt you but could not
the pain of the memory twisted my heart into wreckage
and made my beauty
unrecognizable to your indifferent eyes.
you didn't even see me, then. I was merely a wraith
standing there in that doorway watching you
slow dancing with a perfect stranger
I felt like a once welcomed kid looking in the candy store window
now locked Keep Out!
I didn't know quite what to feel or where to look
or where to stand
your eyes caught mine and you gave a cold little smirk
as the knife plunged deeper
and icy hot tears began to make their way
down my cheeks in betrayal.
damn it, I hated you then!
I wanted to rip you to shreds
and torture you and make
you feel the way that you made me feel
but all I could do was watch you dance
and cry like a baby.
