Return To Love

I reached out but he didn't answer.
He just pushed me away,
didn't have time.....

Didn't have time for what?
To answer a simple cry for love,
a simple cry to be met with more than silence
ignorance,
cruelty.

I remember he laughed at me once.
Yes laughed at me and never with me.

Couldn't even cry anymore.
The tears hurt too much,
burned too much
All that was left was..........nothing.

But I found the peace inside.
I can live with myself.
Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it isn't,
but I can live with myself.

The hurt is loosing its grip in me,
more and more each day.
I can smile, laugh.....
Give some, of what he wasn't able to give,
back to people who understand....

Never lost the faith.....
It was just misplaced.....
Used the energy.......
