This Cannot Be Ignored Forever

This.

It cannot be ignored forever.

So stop tiptoeing like a silly fool.

We act like it's just fine. 

We all know

it simply is not.

Will we just nod and smile?

And talk about it in forbidden whispers?

That.

It cannot go on forever.

I was a victim.

I know that, only I truly know.

Do not coddle me.

Do not say you are sorry.

This cannot be ignored forever.

I know you feel

guilty,

hurt,

responsible.

That cannot go on forever.

So accept it.

I will not sit by,

lose people I love

to something way off

in the harsh past.

This

What we do not have together

This

With the denial and appolgies

You know what must be done

about all of

this.
