All I Wanted

Folder: 
closet boxes 2002

Your holding back

staying away

and your not sure

just what to say.

And you BELIEVE

I hate your girl

I watch our

sad story unfurl.

You think me bitter

even cold

lost in these

feelings of old.



You want the TRUTH

well here it goes

though I see the real me

you don't know.



I never hated anyone

but the person in the mirror

for never knowing all the things

that to you just seemed so clear.

I was never cold, just weary

of fixing this wounded heart

and the BITTERNESS did not appear

but was there right from the start.

I'm glad to see your happy

It's what I WANTED all along

and what I want in days to come

when you do find me gone.
