Completed But Still Bleedin’

In all the years that I loved you

And I stood firmly by your side 

Through all the growing pains

New places, names and times

I kept consistent and showed up 

Checking in when things got tough 

Fingers displayed bits of my soul 

My inner thoughts for you to hold

Each darkened hour of my day 

Was all out there - my gilded rage

My broken bones were merely moments

Of you’re vacation - a frightful component 

But now you insist upon on my empathy 

Despite you having none to spare for me

And as I ponder at this new found distance 

Emotional - not physical - it shows no wisdom

I can’t resist the urge to beg myself to see 

That you were never really there for me

You were bored - I was available 

You needed validation - I was able 

You are scared - I am healing 

You have left this friendship reeling
