You Win Poem by julie kops

So very weary of the mindgames
And the riddles within the maze
Never showing it's true feelings
Dancing ever through the haze

Standing in the silence there
Without hope of finding light
Yet reaching ever out to you
To call you there in flight

The weight of every missile thrown
Buries my heart again in stone
Though I once called you true
You left me dancing here alone

Forgive if this wounded tattered heart
Needed to hear the words you withheld
Then wandered through the depths of dark
And crawled back into its empty shell

I'm only brave on the outside dear
Cant carry the tune all alone of course
But I guess I've learned the lesson
And my screaming leaves me hoarse

Yet only my own echo returned
A lone and solitary song
I guess I'm just too broken
Shouldn't dare to ever belong
