Flashback
Obtrusive words
You bring to me
After a speck of guilt filled kindness sent
Though they weren’t,
They were
Only wanting
Always needing
I push down feelings of betrayal
Once again
You kill me with your presence
Without even being here
Your effervescent light is just trickery
Armor on
Tears repressed
I must realize the facade
Step back
Retract
Breathe deep and weep.
