Stranger In The Shadows Poem by Yvonne Resendez

All those times I ignored you
I did it cause I adore you.
I wanted you to fight for me,
proving you wouldn't lie to me.

I was scared of you,
running away cause I didn't
know what to say or do.

It was a mistake when you
stabbed me with a dart
cause you couldn't finish what you started.
Saying you didn't have the time,
or even just a heart.

I sleep with my eyes open,
my words unspoken
thinking this was all make believe
and thinking maybe....just maybe
you might change.

But I walk away
with the pain in my heart
and the hate in my eyes,
but at least you have something
to be guilty for.
