i can't sleep
on my back
the wounds are still healing
they're small
like from daggers
but deep
but i can bear it
because i still love you
i don't think you want to hear my voice
on the other end of the telephone
you'll probably look at the caller id
and roll your eyes
even though i just called
to say
i still love you
you'll probably instantly delete
when you see my e-mail address
re: i still love you
your words pimp-slapped me in public
and i still got in the car
and rode with you on your painful journey
you, asleep, drooling on my shirt
with your head on my shoulder
your hand on my back
re-opening wounds
i thought had closed
but i still love you
you've torn me up
from the front to the back
broken heart
back bleeding like kunta
the pain almost made me
hate you
but it didn't kill me so
i'm stronger
and i still love you
you don't love me back
you don't care about me
my existence has done nothing for you
but you have done a lot for me
thank you
now
I know
a little bit
how God feels.....
