Flickering and burning, a life marches on in a haze. She just wants to demonstrate how unyielding she is. That includes without me. When you truly love someone, but are afraid taking them back will appear like fragility to others, how does that make you content? The end result is you proved yourself impeccable. You were strong enough to push me away from you. Unfortunately, not what your heart deserved or needed. I always thought I was the confused one. That all of this was just my problem that I had to mend. But, it turns out your just as at fault for this as me.

When the world is your stage... And you’re acting for everyone, Including yourself. Will you ever drop the facade? Be yourself and not a wall. You feel more that way, good or bad.

I'm sorry for what I never said. And for everything I never did. You were right when you told me, that you were too immature to take me back. I thought I knew you. But you never showed me everything that you are. I can only love someone, if I know everything that they are, the good or the bad. You never showed me... I am the strong one now. Even if I second guess myself. But I will not flip-flop again. You were a part of my life, that I would not give up for anything. But that part of my life is over. You will live happily in your world of fantasy. And I will shape my reality to become my dreams. I'll meet you there, I know it. But will you recognize me? Will I ever meet the real you?

If you couldn't say the words, I guess I should have known, that you never trusted me, all along. Who are you really?

Author's Note: Took me forever to figure out how to get html to put this poem out the way I wrote it...had to settle for a table. This is as close to the form as I could get.
