Pain Poem by maggie romine

It's so hard to admit
What we've known all along
The things that are missing
Are the same we just did wrong

Do you resent the time
Or on all you've missed out
You only loved me when I left
That emotion left love out

Your silence is deafening
Loud as trumpets in my ears
And each time we did this
I simply cried fewer tears

You weren't here at all
Yet expected me to stay
Dying a little more inside
Letting my soul slip away

Why are you so angry
You need to let it go
Don't pretend to understand
What you don't want to know

People do what they want
Whether they love you or not
It doesn't ease the feeling
Of pain you haven't forgot
