Separation

Lying on that bed
She looked at me trying to imagine what's in my head
Running her hands across my scars
Her eyes shining with apologies about my past
Looking at her now frail and weak
I can't reconcile her to the woman who left me
The one person who was to love me unconditionally
Couldn't hack it so she left and took everything
I remember walking into my home now a house
Seeing my father on the bare floor , his face burried in his palms
I sat in the corner and pretended not to hear his muffled cries
As I tried to understand why
Was it something I said?
Why weren't we enough for you to stay
As time wore on we were in limbo
Patiently waiting for you too walk through the door
But you never did
And so we shut it
Now you're back
Right in my grasp
Looking at you I don't feel what I thought I would
There's no slow opening of already healed wounds
I don't know you
It might hurt but it's the truth
We patched up our hearts and moved on
Leaving behind your scent, memory and everything you ever owned
