surprisingly tonight he called
it's a wonder I hadn't broken down and bawled
it's been a few uneventful weeks
isn't it funny how quietly into my tight little
heart he so easily sneaks
I think I'm almost over him now
I never thought I would ever be
my swollen tender heart has stopped blocking my
essential oversight
so now I can nearly see
once again I feel like I'm about to be set free
but will his restless haunted soul let me be
Hopefully, he will cease his tireless infliction of
harsh remarks
and I'll no longer stand fully erect at the window
pretending to be fine when he pulls up on the lot
and grudgingly parks
vengeful heart let's try not to pass each other's
treacherous paths again
surely apart we could seperately win...........
