I want you badly

the simplest questions, I had to ask them

and I knew you would decline.

It didn’t hurt.

I had braced myself for rejection.

Your rejection is becoming a permanent part of my days.

It used to hurt,

but it doesn’t anymore.

Those are old wounds

and although I want you badly

the time slipped us by.

Time heals all our wounds

and our scars can be concealed.

I am just not sure if I am ready to let it happen.

I was sure that I had your love

you left and took the light with you

now I am living in a constant nightly daze.
