WHAT NEVER WAS

Folder: 
JOURNAL#8

with a cold and uncaring hand

I was rudely slapped down

forcing me to sit where I now stand

I've just now succeeded in what I originally set out to

do

I've made you forget me as I've quite magnificently

may I add forgotten you

but then of course that was always the preferable

winning plan

suffering is just another nine letter word until you're

put under its silent unexpected spell

perhaps then that is why with the term 'love' we choose

to precede it with the verb fell

is it all that very hard on one's system you were so

quick to pin me down and ask

but you got your not so long awaited answer once my

blank eyes released the latch from their distantly

indifferent mask

the pent up pain poured to the shattered surface

in hopes of a healthier healing

the wounds were still almost raw again by these old

new feelings that I was feeling

turn your head gently away if you feel you must and you

won't have to so shockingly see

what your rejection and empty lust have left behind

and consequently done to me

yet never fear

it doesn't still hurt it only feels as if it does

and know that I don't regret not one single thing except

maybe 'What Never Was'..............
