For You

The worst part of hurting,

is how bare it left me to be.

The truth took my confidence,

took my faith in you, 

took my trust,

took my words

and left nothing but

this insulting silence--

this silence that renders me

vulnerably appalled

So let me have my little victories

I've got nothing left to fight against you

only my solid honesty

but I can't take the step

to get there,

you already cut me at the knees

cherish these words

they're the last you'll hear from me

Author's Note

For you, as it's always been.
