Remedy


Dear You,

 

What do I do?

Give me answers

After the dancer in your heart danced with another

Why shouldn't I wonder

What I could have done

 

Didn't you think I would know

Didn't you that hate the way your words flow

That I wouldn't know

The true meaning

Of the unknown

 

And yet you fled

Left in my bed

Alone

I can’t go home

For my home was you

 

Now I sit here

Not waiting in fear

But waiting in love

For some to hug and to care for

Because I was someone you were not there for

 

I remember the sweetest november

 

The moments we broke

So I do not choke then

It seems crazy to forgive you

 

But I do

I forgive you

The wicked way you cling to me

The words you speak

 

You are my vice

And you roll me like dice

You shook my identity

Became my remedy

 

I wrote to you

But don't write back

Because my heart is so fragile

My whole being may crack

 

To you my dear

-Adara Degnan
