Missing

My eyes have been dry for weeks.
The thought of you, only drifted
by every once in a while. Then
today I found a poem that you wrote
for me and my cries were un-stoppable.
I don't understand why if you never
really cared, if you lied and played so
many games, why can't I just walk away?
I was almost stunned that you showed
where you knew I would be, and yet I
never really saw you. I couldn't look
at you, barely mumble a hello. And I
don't know why. I thought I would be ok
seeing you, and even seeing you with her.
I've been happy lately, exactly where I
want to be, and happy for you. But if
I would have known how hard I had to
hold back my tears after leaving the room,
I wouldn't have even said hello. I want
so badly to be your friend, to talk and
have fun with you, but in all honesty I
don't think I can ever see you again. My
heart just can't take anymore, and I suppose
that's why it's so easy for me to just go
see who-ever. I've finally come to understand
I'm completely incapable of love. Even more
now than before. Because I've given my all,
been SO very patient, believed and relaxed.
And once again all it got me was a broken heart.
So if you ever wonder where I am, what I'm doing,
why I seem to be missing in action, I'm telling
you now it's you that I'm hiding from.
